[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Probably the UT is a multi-tier system. When you are aboard a starship, all those ears-in-the-walls and hidden 3D speakers do the translating for you. Outside the ship, but still within comm range, the commbadges act the role. Yet in everyday situations, when you aren't wearing a badge or aren't in Starfleet, your implant handles the regular English-Japanese-English or Klingon-Trill-Klingon translations. It's only when encountering *new* languages not already programmed into your implant that you feel naked without a badge... And come to think of it, forget what I said about 3D speakers above. The UT must act on nerve impulses instead of sounds - your ear most probably hears Klingon, but the UT then messes with the nerve signals and the message reaches your brain in English. And if the opponent isn't wearing a corresponding UT, then when you think about saying something in English, your "voice-tract" nerves are tampered with and it comes out as Klingon. And sometimes this "identify whether opponent understands" routine falters, and you blurt out random combinations of native and foreign words... This happens a lot with those crappy Klingon UTs.
