Several ancient Earth languages are contained within its data. Whether or not this relic was created by the Precursor Race is unclear. The Translation Device is not able to be picked up and can only be viewed from the inside of the Primary Containment Facility.

Translation Device
This device stores linguistic data from over 1,000 different languages. The core of the device may allow alien texts to be read and translated. Analysis of the onboard data reveals a number of ancient Earth languages, and the term 'CHBCLive' appears many times in the device's data. Its import is unclear. The device seems to be configured to translate into the designer's language - it will not work the other way around.

Trivia

• The Translation Device relic is a tribute to a Chinese fan of Subnautica who went by the name "CHBCLive (吃喝不愁的Live)". He made tutorials and translations for the Chinese audience up since the Farming Update. He later died after a long battle with gastric cancer. 
  • Actually, he was not the only one, as well as his son, involved in the translation of Chinese.
