Translatron III
Model: MaGnA Corp Translatron III
Type: Special Electronic Translation Device
Cost: 8500 (expansions 1000 to 3000)
The Translatron III is a small headset consisting of earphones and a
microphone, connected to a large (the size of a desktop computer's tower)
unit that's got straps to use it as a backpack. The unit contains a very
powerful microcomputer, a disk drive, three add-on cartridge slots, and a
speaker/microphone, as well as connections for commlinks and larger speaker
systems.
The microcomputer has a database with a the most used languages in the
galaxy (about 3000), and add-ons with more languages are available (but
only three add-on cartridge can be used at a time). Translatron I
Linguasofts discs and Translatron II add-on cartdriges can be used on the
Translatron III.
The user just talks in his language (provided it's on the database)
through the headset's microphone, and seconds later it comes out in the
language he has selected (again, provided if it's on the database, or any
add-ons or Linguasofts he may have) from the unit's speaker. When someone
talks to the user in an available language, the unit's microphone picks it
up, and seconds later the user hears it in a language he can understand
through the headset's earphones.
The microcomputer is also able to translate new languages, given some time
to study said language.
Game Notes: The Translatron III has a languages skill of 7D.
