Hi there, slightly off topic, but speaking of translators, I recently saw the Discovery ep. where the translator is broken and I realized not everyone on the ship speaks Federation Standard. And now I can’t stop imagining Picard speaking French the whole time on TNG.
Or everyone using native regional accents instead of Received Pronunciation…it would be glorious chaos, worthy of a season closer/opener two parter…“Dorme vous…Data…dorme vous.”
Now I’m imagining that Scotty’s accent is the best the universal translator can manage to do with what’s actually a stream of incomprehensible Scottish gibberish.
Oh, I like that. That’s fully in my head-canon, now. Scotty is blasting out waves of full-on Scots lingo, and the computer is barely able to chew through it.
