Highly complex and advanced technology involving brain wave frequency linkage and verbal comparison protocols designed to for real time language translation. The primary software of which is called Linguacode.
Linguacode
Primary Universal Translator
software employing complex sets of algorithmic progressions which are designed
to read and translate extraterrestrial languages. After scanning brain wave
frequencies and activity, it forms multi-layered vocabulary matrices involving
grammatical patterns, syntax and even cultural factors before compiling and
transmitting the data to the second subject's brain for interpretation. As
part of the Translator circuitry, Linguacode would normally be used in situations
whereby an alien language is initially encountered, particularly in first
contact situations, but it's necessary via Starfleet protocols that adequate
sampling of the unknown language be made first, and be fully analysed. This
is to avoid confusion and misunderstanding. Most Combadges also incorporate
some limited linguacode programs for real time, on the spot translations.
