[ Four lines of text. ]

This is written in Victorian.
Kore wa Laterano-ji Higashi-go de kakareteimasu.
This is written in Higashinese.
This written by in Yanese. (Might be bad. Sorry.)

Please do let me know how many of these sentences you understand.


[ The first is in what would be considered Earth English, the second is what would be known as Japanese written in Romaji, but he's called it "Laterano-ji Higashinese". The third was written in Japanese, the fourth was written in some rather poor Chinese. He's called the languages themselves clearly incorrect names. What's more important, though, is that only the second one should parse as phonetic, and should only be understandable to fellow Japanese speakers. The rest are in whatever language is most understandable to whoever reads it. Funny, huh? This city sure is strange! ]

This... is so cool. Weird, and I don't know what exactly it means for the city and us, but so, so cool. This implies translation technology miles ahead of anything even dreamed of! All of the speed of a VI but the accuracy and exactness of a person! It's like... telepathy? But through technology as well as in person?

[Sorry, she's no actual help here, especially since she knows everyone else has given their 2 cents on the languages themselves, but she is absolutely going to let herself nerd out a bit until she can have an existential breakdown in private about how the hell this is happening. Thanks Midnight <3]
