![]() Joe: Still, we are not selling any piece of our land Joe: Our government decided it is not interesting in selling you the unobtaniumĪlien 1: That's stupid, you don't need it for anything, it is radioactive and dangerous for your flesh Both parties silently evaluated each other while the translator negotiated the neutral language they would use for the interaction. Their own translators were in a corner, which were quickly joined by Doe's translator. Joe Doe enters the room where three aliens awaited him. ![]() You can even shadow the translators themselves: You would only need to if that changed for some reason, such as the alien revealing that he understood all the remarks human were doing in from of him (thinking he didn't understood a word of their mother tongue). ![]() The reader then knows that they talk in " Classical Greek because X", and you can then spare from from stating it every time. You should mention at the beginning of the story (or when your characters will start talking with aliens) how does the communication work. Unless you want to "write" the alien language gibberish to the reader, most likely you should be transparently writing it on the reader's language.Ĭontinuously stating “.he said in x language.” does not make for a good writing, IMHO. This creates small and highly-valued cast of people that work as alien translators.Īfter you think how you want your alien languages to work, you would then design your world with that. Aliens can communicate only with some humans which are specially suited to receive their mental waves.This would probably be the hardest to write. Humans actually understand what they want/mean but it doesn't have words attached. The fact that all alien trade uses its language has made it also the de facto universalterrestrial language between countries (currently a place held by English, previously by French, even before by Latin.). Aliens have learnt one human language (Russian, Polish, Flemish.).It's not only aliens and people misunderstanding, but also the way the multiple computers involved handled it (and no one really knows better to understand it). Your human write into their computer, which translates it into a format that the alien computers then translate into their language. Communication actually happens through computers.Aliens have learnt all human languages and are able to communicate in any of them.There is a universal translation device humanalien. ![]() Humans and aliens have the same language.You should first think (even if you don't explicitly tell it to the reader) how such communication will happen. ![]()
