Troi isn't playing around. When you have Odo, who can make basically "anything", if you know what I mean. That's the life ticket. You'll be chasing that forever. Kiri figured that shit out
Hoshi, any day. Linguistic genius. Figured out new languages without any data. For fun.
C3PO might not be as adept, as his programming might be limited. His function was a translator but did he have the capability to learn new languages?
Lwaxana is not a translator. She's a diplomat. She may be able to detect that all the alien men in the known universe want her but she can't translate their language for anyone.
If anyone from TNG was a superior translator, it was probably data. He was designed to learn and grow.
Agreed. She was so scared to sign up to join the Enterprise mission, but she did just so she could experience new languages. Smart decision by Archer to get her aboard. Even T'Pol complimented her abilities.

A Betazoid doesn't even need you to speak. Remember she caught those handsome assassins.

She's also the computer, so has all that power for her Universal Translator

"Caught"
Happened to mention something about them, totally not caring about the intent at all.
someguy3@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 131d
Very nonchalant, but still didn't want them to blow everyone and her up.

Lwaxana wins by far, she can sense the hidden intentions behind the words.

But hand her a great work of alien literature, and it's just a bunch of squiggles.
PunnyName@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 131d
But can she translate it and pass it on to another?
