Translatron II
Model: MaGnA Corp Translatron II
Type: Advanced Electronic Translation Device
Cost: 5000 (expansions 1000 to 3000)
The Translatron II is a small headset consisting of earphones and a
microphone, connected to a somewhat large (the size of a notebook computer)
unit that's carried inside a shoulder bag, backpack, or just on a table.
The unit contains a powerful microcomputer, a disk drive, an add-on
cartridge slot, and a speaker/microphone, as well as connections for
commlinks and larger speaker systems.
The microcomputer has a database with a selection of the most used
languages in the galaxy (about 500), and add-ons with more languages are
available (but only one add-on cartridge can be used at a time).
Translatron I Linguasofts discs can be used on the Translatron II.
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 II has a languages skill of 4D.
