As part of the Thargoids arrival, it would be cool if there was a "universal translator" that was added to our ships, that in lore terms allowed us to talk to the Thargoids.
In addition though, the Universal Translator could take advantage of something likes Google Translate (https://cloud.google.com/translate/pricing) to translate text between players between two languages.
I make this suggestion because a few times I've ended up winging/crewing with players who did not speak English, and we had no way to communicate. I believe the product already supports four languages (English, French, German and Russian); if on a per player basis, the user could choose their language, then the there could be a setting that could be set to "auto translate" chat text if folks wanted to, allowing us to better communicate w/ each other.
