In ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', the Translator Module is, at first, incapable of translating the different [[Luminoth]] holograms found on [[Aether]].

The '''Translator Module''' is the piece of equipment [[Samus Aran|Samus]] uses to decode alien languages. Most often it is used to translate lore left behind by species, or procure information from [[Space Pirate]] consoles.


Interestingly enough, Samus's Translator Module does not have to be upgraded for her to download information from [[Luminoth Datapac]]s.
==Appearances==
===''Metroid Prime''===
In ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', though not mentioned specifically, the Translator Module is undoubtedly the piece of equipment [[Samus Aran|Samus]] uses to decode the [[Chozo]] runes and [[Chozo Lore|lore]] she finds on [[Tallon IV]]. Its capacity to translate [[Chozo Language|Chozo]] is limited, however.<ref>{{cite|The only translatable symbol detected on this sculpture is the word 'Chozo.'|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> She also uses this module to translate [[Pirate Data]].
 
===''Metroid Prime Hunters''===
In ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]'', the Translator Module is incapable of translating the [[Alimbic]] [[Alimbic Language|language]].<ref>{{cite|This language cannot be translated.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime Hunters}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Contains unknown characters. Untranslatable.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime Hunters}}</ref> Instead, Samus accesses their [[Alimbic Lore|lore]] using [[Alimbic Datashade]]s, which were designed to transmit telepathic data and be compatible with most [[Scan Visor|scan systems]].<ref>{{cite|Datashades are packets of telepathic data scattered throughout the TETRA GALAXY. They can be accessed by most galactic-standard scan systems.|[[Metroid Prime Hunters Logbook]] "Alimbic Datashade 01"|Metroid Prime Hunters}}</ref>
 
===''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''===
In ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', the Translator Module is, at first, incapable of translating the different [[Luminoth]] holograms representing words in [[Luminoth Language|their language]] found on [[Aether]].<ref>{{cite|Unable to active Luminoth Lore Projector. Proper Translator Module needed for access.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> The [[Sentinel of Aether]], [[U-Mos]], upgrades her Translator Module to read Violet holograms,<ref>{{cite|I have also updated your Translator Module.

Interestingly enough, Samus's Translator Module does not have to be upgraded for her to download information from [[Luminoth Datapac]]s. She also uses the module to translate [[Space Pirate Logs]].
 
===''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''===
In ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', Samus undoubtedly uses the Translator Module to translate downloaded [[Bryyonian Data]] and [[Skytown Data]]. She also uses it to translate [[Space Pirate Data]].
