Additional information post to go with a prior post about the Babel Bracelet because I forgot to include this detail. Whoops.

While the Babel Bracelet allows the user to speak and understand whatever language they want, it only translates spoken words. It does not translate written words. Signs and books? Try to read any of them with a Babel Bracelet on and you're not going to understand it, the same way you would if you weren't wearing one or never had one to begin with.

This is intentional, of course. A hinderance that's purposefully built into it to pressure the user into learning the language of their choice because again, it's meant to be used temporarily. It's not supposed to be a crutch, just a quick band-aid solution until the user learns enough to not need it anymore.

#//shaking my head at myself #//this is such an important detail idk how i forgot to mention it #//i say pressure but its more like this feature is intentionally left out BECAUSE its supposed to help with learning the language #//by only having them understand being spoke to and not reading it's supposed to be like a nudge into actually learning the language they-#//-want to know #//if that makes sense?#//also deeply ironic how it's not supposed to be a crutch and yet lambda relies on it to communicate with two of his friends bc he wouldn't #//-be able to understand them otherwise #//there's a reason for that but also dude! dude! sit down and actually learn! shakes him #//anyways yeah! more fun translator bracelet info! :>#hidden depths: {info}
