If every one is equipped with auto translator, how come we can still hear words from foreign languages? Like Keelah se' lai or whatever? Shouldn't it be translated as well? 
And don't tell me it has no translation, I highly doubt this couldn't be translated as Amen, farewell or Hello.

I can hardly see every quarion say "hang on, turn off your translator a minute, I'm about to say Boosh tet"

If Bioware was going for total realism, a lot of aspects of the game would be different.

Everything is a paradox.

The translators are based on translations made by people, Not everything is translated presumably this includes swear words and local dialects and the like. It was mentioned in the codex in me1.

Most individuals know only their mother tongue, and rely on machine translation. Modern portable computers allow anyone with a few hundred credits of equipment to enjoy seamless real-time translation of alien languages, courtesy of handheld PDAs, computers in clothing or jewelry, or sub-dermal implants. Without fast and accurate translation, galactic trade and culture would not exist.



Governments provide subsidized software, updated through the public extranet "on the fly", often as users approach spaceport customs facilities. Even the batarians, who isolated themselves from galactic society nearly two decades ago, take pains to provide up-to-date glossaries and linguistic rules, though most suspect that this is only so they can continue exporting propaganda.



It is still considered broad-minded and practical to be able to speak without machine aid. Children often take courses in alien language, and most races can speak the simplified artificial "trade tongue" with little difficulty.



Some species must rely on machine translation to interact with the rest of the galaxy. Hanar, for example, cannot reproduce the spoken language of any humanoid species, and other races cannot reproduce hanar bioluminescence without mechanical aid. Newly discovered or obscure races don't have machine translation available until the linguists have had time to study them.

There are things in SciFi that should be accepted unmentioned. If you don't do it this way you end up as stupidly as every Enterprise episode: the subspace!

This isnt like the star trek one thought that just 'works'. The ME one actually makes some sense. Using google translate is like an archaic version of the mass effect one.

The bigger question is why do all of their lip movements use English?  I have no issue with it, but if you think about it, it should be in some gibberish, you wouldn't be able to understand.

Oh dear god I'll never be able to sleep now XD

Damnit. Err. the translator uses tiny mass effect fields to re adjust lip movement to synch with the translation so deaf people can lip read.Yes thats it.

Some words don't translate well universally. The game lampshades this with Thane - when he calls FemShep "siha" (a Drell term of endearment), she says that there must have been a glitch in her translator. They aren't perfect.

Admit it: ITS SUBSPACE!



...or maybe mass effect fields are our subspace?

[MisterSurreal]

I think it's reasonable to assume that Shepard and all of his squad are fluent in whatever trade tongue the galaxy uses. Therefore in most cases the translator is not needed. The translator is probably more used by the average citizen from less multiracial worlds and stations.

[ThatDancingTurian]

I would imagine if no one else, Liara at least speaks English, otherwise it makes no sense for her to have confused 'Illusive' and 'Elusive' when talking with TIM in the comic.

[Fluffeh Kitteh]

Well Shepard definitely is using it somehow. Femshep mentions the translator immediately after Thane calls her Siha for the first time.

Because most players aren't observant enough to pick up on things like this. While I would be thoroughly amused if some NPC's looked like a kung fu dub, most people would scream about how "they couldn't sync up dialogue properly."

Would be cool if a side mission in ME3 or a future big expansion for ME2 had a villain who knocked out your translators, and said mission forced you to take two alien squad-mates. So during the whole mission you can not talk to your squad.



And the Normandy would be asleep.

Witty Remark: You haven't experienced Cod:MW2 until you've heard it in the Elcor.

[Spartas Husky]

Is a translator, is not perfect. Leave it a lone. lol

[Annihilator27]

Dont worry, When the reapers complete the cycle we wont need translators.

[Miramar52]

Are the translators built in the omnitools? What if someone didn’t have one?
