From a few other fics I read, I've come to the conclusion of the device speaking like google translate. As the other person speaks, the translator will start to speak and translate. For my stories and worldbuilding, the translator sits underneath the skin, right behind the ear. The process to insert can hurt if not done properly or can become infected. It connects to the cochlea. So other people can't hear the translator, only you. All it is is a small device, no bigger than a quarter. You can barely see it or feel it there.

There are a few theories of my own that will have side effects from said device. Like I stated before, if it's not correctly, then it can cause hear lose, sometimes permeant if they're that bad at their job. Another side effect could be tinnitus.

To be honest, a lot of my stories is weird sci-fi shit, lol. I try to make things seem logical, but I can only do so much when it comes to space and aliens!

How does translating the words the person is saying work? Or are yautja just familiar enough with enough human languages that it’s not really a worry?

Aye, you're never a bother! Thank you so much!

The device is hooked up to the cochlea and that'll send a signal up to the brain. I feel like it's never going to be 100% correct though. Some words will come out not grammatically correct. The Yautja created the device they use and have modified for other species when they come into contact with them. Some Yautjas have one for themselves either in their biomask or also behind their ears. (Which, I HC that their ears are like birds/reptiles. Just a hole but it's hidden behind their tresses.) Some Yautja are also famialir with some human languages. Those that have to travel to the planet have probably learned them well enough, a translator isn't needed.
