Description
With the aid of this small, silver, dome-shaped translator, Twinsunians are able to understand and speak the Esmers' language.
Role in Twinsen's adventure
Not being able to undertand the Esmers' language, Twinsen needed at a translator to be able to understand the Zeelichians. Possible locations where he got the translator from are a space shuttle, the prison on Otringal, or from Baldino himself.
If he did not have one before boarding the Esmer shuttle to the Emerald Moon, Twinsen was unable to understand what the Moon Base question, and therefore, did not answer. The guards outside, understanding Twinsen did not know the right password tried to kill him then.
Unconfirmed theories
The translator obviously translates the Esmers' language to the Twinsunian one. However, it is unknown whether inhabitants of other planets may also use this device to understand the Zeelichian language, or even any other language.
