Translators are inventory items that allow the user to speak with Gifted Riley Bee, Gifted Bucko Bee, and Stick Bug.
To use a translator, the player needs to talk to the NPC they want to use the translator on. The NPC will talk to the player in its language. It will then prompt the player the option to give the translator to the NPC or leave. Clicking on the option to give the NPC the translator will allow the player to talk and receive quests from the NPC.
Translators are single-use - once the player gives an NPC a translator, the translator will be taken away from their inventory, but the player will be able to speak with them forever. If the player accidentally uses a translator on an NPC, they can leave the game as the translator only gets taken away after the player finishes speaking to that NPC.
All three translators can only be obtained from Science Bear. He rewards the player with a translator after completing the following quests: "Limits of Language", "Beesperanto", and "Epistemological Endeavor" (which are the 21st, 26th and 31st quests).
Trivia[]
- The player can acquire a total of three translators throughout the game so that they can speak to all three of the NPCs that require them.
- Without translators, it is impossible to take quests, receive rewards, talk or give presents to Gifted Bucko Bee, Stick Bug, and Gifted Riley Bee.
- Translators were originally implemented in the 11/25/2018 update when Science Bear received an additional 10 quests. Only two were available at that time, as the third could only be obtained in Epistemological Endeavor, which is Science Bear's last quest. His last 5 quests weren't added until 12/19/2018, thus making the total amount of translators available 2 at the time.
- There is a 5 quest difference between each translator, Limits of Language being the 21st quest, Beesperanto being the 26th, and Epistemological Endeavor being the 31st.
- This is one of the two unique items that can only be obtained while completing a bear’s questline, the other being spirit petals from Spirit Bear.
- This is one of the only items that can be given to an NPC, the other item being presents.
- Trying to give Gifted Riley, Gifted Bucko, or Stick Bug a present without giving it a translator will result in the regular dialogue being displayed.
