Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
27 5 I was less pleased to have left the translator with the disk but it seemed the better thing to do, for one would not have taken a translator into the tunnels of the Golden Beetle and if it were found missing from the disk it might occasion speculation not that I had returned from the tunnels of the ...

9 242 About its neck there hung a small circular device, a translator of some sort, similar to but more compact than those I had hitherto seen.
Details
10
9 244 Almost simultaneously a mechanically reproduced voice began to emanate from the translator.
Details
10
10 36 The translator tapes, incidentally, are approximately the same size, but this is no help, since the tapes represent pairings of approximate equivalents, and there are several English morphemes not translatable into the language of Priest-Kings, and, as I learned, morphemes in their language for whic...

11 11 Like Misk it wore no clothing and carried no weapons, and its only accouterment was a translator which dangled from its neck.
Details
10
11 20 "The Nest was not jeopardized," came from Misk's translator.
Details
10
11 22 It turned a knob on its own translator and in a moment the air was filled with the sharp odors of what I take might have been a reprimand.
Details
10
11 23 I heard nothing for the creature had snapped off his translator.
Details
10
11 24 When Misk replied he too turned off his translator.
Details
10
11 35 The translator, incidentally, supposing it to be turned on, would provide only the translation of what was said, and the words, unless the volume control was manipulated during the message, would always occur at the same sound level.
Details
10
11 36 An analogue to listening to a translator would be to imagine words as pictures which, in the same type face and size, flash serially on a screen.
Details
10
11 38 The translator can tell you that the speaker is angry but it cannot show you that he is angry.
Details
10
11 87 From behind me I heard the mechanical voice of Misk's translator: "But she is the Mother," it said, "and we of the Nest are all her children".
Details
10
12 179 No sooner had these words been emitted from Sarm's translator than the two slaves leaped toward me to seize me.
Details
10
12 257 The two Priest-Kings had watched this small concourse with some interest, but now the voice of Sarm's translator was heard: "It is growing late," it said, "let the Matok be processed".
Details
10
14 7 I hoped he had a translator.
Details
10
14 12 I supposed he did not have a translator.
Details
10
14 23 Apparently he did have a translator.
Details
10
14 84 I was given a translator by Misk and I would utter Gorean expressions into it and then wait for the translation into the language of the Priest-Kings, and in this way, after a time, I became capable of recognizing numerous meaningful odors.
Details
10
14 86 One of the things I did was run the translator over the red plastic tunic I had been issued and listen to the information which had been recorded on it.
Details
10
14 131 Misk's voice came from the translator as consecutively and mechanically as ever, but his whole body trembled.
Details
10
17 5 "You are awake," said a voice on a translator.
Details
10
17 21 I made no move but I was startled to hear the Gorean expression for 'friend' emanate from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
17 23 I had tried to find it on the translator and lexical tapes which Misk had placed at my disposal.
Details
10
17 24 Literally what hearing the expression from Sarm meant was that he had had the item specially entered into his translator tapes and correlated with a random odor, much as if we had decided to invent a name to stand for some novel relation or object.
Details
10
17 26 He might have asked Mul Translator Engineers for such an expression and an explanation of it, and I supposed they might have given him the expression "friend" and explained it for him, more or less adequately, in terms of the normal consequences of the relation designated, such things as tending to ...
Details
10
17 27 The occurrence of the expression on Sarm's translator tape, simple as it was, indicated that he had gone to a good deal of trouble, and that the matter, for some reason, was rather important to him.
Details
10
17 44 "I see," came from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
19 6 To my surprise his head was crowned with an aromatic wreath of green leaves, the first thing green I had seen in the Nest, and about his neck there hung, besides the invariable translator, a necklace, perhaps of accouterments, perhaps of pure ornaments, small pieces of metal, some shallow and rounde...
Details
10
19 67 I wished I had had time to investigate certain of Misk's scent-charts, but even if I had had the time, I might not have found helpful charts and, anyway, my translator scanning them could read only labels.
Details
10
19 99 "Sarm is your friend," came from the Priest-King's translator.
Details
10
19 100 As I turned to leave the chamber I noted that the grasping appendages on Sarm's right foreleg turned off his translator.
Details
10
19 103 To my nostrils, now alert to the signals of Priest-Kings and trained by my practice with the translator Misk had allowed me to use, there came a single brief odor, the components of which I had little difficulty in discriminating.
Details
10
19 104 It was a very simple message and was of course not carried by Sarm's translator.
Details
10
21 9 In impatience I fingered the chain of the translator I had had the two Muls pick up on the way to Misk's prison.
Details
10
21 10 I was not sure that Misk would have been allowed to retain his translator and I wished to be able to communicate with him.
Details
10
21 16 I turned on the translator.
Details
10
21 20 No response came from my translator.
Details
10
21 22 "Probably not," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "for had he replied, I think your translator would have picked up his response".
Details
10
21 75 "Welcome, Tarl Cabot," came from my translator.
Details
10
22 1 To the Tunnels of the Golden Beetle I slung the translator on its chain over my shoulder and went to the bars near the door.
Details
10
27 41 His head was garlanded by a wreath of green leaves as had been that of Sarm, and also, like Sarm, there was about his neck, as well as his translator, the ceremonial string of tiny metal tools.
Details
10
27 174 Though the translator which still hung about Sarm's neck with the string of silverish tools was not turned on I would not have needed it to interpret the desperate odor-signal emitted by the First Born.
Details
10
27 175 It was, indeed, though shorter and more intense, the first odor-signal that had ever been addressed to me, only then it had come from Misk's translator in the chamber of Vika.
Details
10
27 176 Had the translator been turned on, I would have heard "Lo Sardar"—"I am a Priest-King".
Details
10
27 183 Then to my horror I saw him remove the translator on its chain from his throat and wielding this like a mace and chain he rushed upon Misk and struck him viciously from behind.
Details
10
27 187 He looped the translator again about his throat.
Details
10
27 201 Only from Sarm's translator came a message.
Details
10
27 203 "No," said the Mother, her message being caught and transmitted by Sarm's own translator.
Details
10
27 205 "No," said the Mother, the message coming again from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
27 211 "I do what I wish," came again from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
27 244 He turned his translator down.
Details
10
27 254 "No," said the Mother, and the message again came from Sarm's own translator, and was echoed a thousand times by those of the other Priest-Kings in the great chamber.
Details
10
27 261 I could sense the intense, weird odors of pain uncarried by his translator which now filled the chamber.
Details
10
27 273 Misk's message to Sarm was carried on Sarm's own translator.
Details
10
27 289 This message was echoed by every translator in the room and a thousand times again and again as the Priest-Kings repeated it in disbelief to one another.
Details
10
27 308 Misk placed a translator on the platform beside the dying creature.
Details
10
27 310 Misk motioned away the physicians and the other Priest-Kings and set the translator on the platform at its lowest volume.
Details
10
27 312 I bent my ear to the translator.
Details
10
27 319 I could barely hear the words from the translator.
Details
10
27 331 Once again a sound came from my translator.
Details
10
27 343 Then once again the voice of the translator was heard.
Details
10
30 14 "You have been implanted," came from the translator of the tall, brownish figure beside Parp.
Details
10
30 57 There was normally a translator on in the headquarters and it was not difficult to follow what was said.
Details
10
30 58 The translator was for the benefit of creatures such as Parp, who spent a good deal of time in the headquarters.
Details
10
30 127 I saw him turn off the switch on his translator.
Details
10
30 132 "Perhaps more power," said Parp, raising his voice so that his words might be carried by Sarm's own translator.
Details
10
31 10 In spite of the agreement about arms, Sarm hung from the back of his translator strap, invisible from the front, a silver tube.
Details
10
31 24 I heard Sarm's translator behind me.
Details
10
31 36 "It does not fire!" came from Sarm's translator and his entire frame was startled, shaken with incomprehension.
Details
10
31 41 "I do not understand," came from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
31 44 "I do not understand," came from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
31 200 "Kill it, Cabot," came from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
31 203 "You are human," said the translator.
Details
10
31 210 "Cabot," came from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
31 212 "Cabot—Cabot—Cabot," came from the translator.
Details
10
31 219 "The pleasure," came from Sarm's translator.
Details
10
31 226 "Cabot," came from his translator.
Details
10
31 228 The last sound I heard from Sarm's translator was—"The pleasure".
Details
10
32 14 "Go," came from Misk's translator.
Details
10
32 123 "There is the Ur disrupter I constructed in the War," came from his translator.
Details
10
32 155 "We are fortunate," came from Kusk's translator.
Details
10
32 167 "This is the end," came from Misk's translator.
Details
10
32 179 "Drive it away," came from Misk's translator.
Details
10
35 23 "Greetings, Tarl Cabot," came from Misk's translator.
Details
10
35 73 "What did you learn?" came from Misk's translator.

5 166 About the tube that joined his head to his thorax, on a slender chain, hung the small, round compact translator.
Details
10
5 170 There was rather only a set of odors, secreted from his signal glands, picked up by the translator and transduced into mechanically reproduced Gorean words, each spoken separately, none with emotion.
Details
10
5 202 "She was not among those who returned to the city," came from Misk's translator.
Details
10
5 211 "I am sorry," came from Misk's translator.
Details
10
5 263 "When can we start?" "We are finished," said Kusk, the words coming, even-spaced, from his translator.
Details
10
5 450 Then the words came forth from the translator, spaced evenly, without expression.

31 80 It was, then, a translator.
Details
10
31 82 After a moment a set of sounds, brief, like a growl, came from the translator.
Details
10
31 95 The translator, turned on, accepted the human phonemes, processed them, and, momentarily, produced audible, correspondent phonemes in one of the languages of the Kur.
Details
10
31 227 He then took a soft, white cloth from a drawer in the table on which the translator reposed, and wiped his paws.
Details
10
35 1223 "Greetings, Tarl Cabot," came from the translator.

1 537 "It is a translator," I said to Samos.
Details
10
1 560 I was just as pleased that we had a translator at our disposal.
Details
10
1 569 "I am Kog," came from the translator.
Details
10
1 579 These words, and word groups, came forth from the translator, following intervals between the creature's inputs.
Details
10
1 594 With a human translator sound is processed, and understood morphemically, which understanding is then reprocessed into the new phonemic structures.
Details
10
1 670 His remark, of course, was picked up by the translator and processed, as though it had been addressed to us.
Details
10
1 704 Kog snapped off the translator and turned to Sardak.
Details
10
1 706 Kog then snapped the translator back on.

54 336 The translator was programmed in Kur and Gorean.

54 340 "What have you to do with the dark guest? And how is it that among your things there was a translator?" I smiled.
Details
10
56 14 It had been last night when I, after returning the translator to my things, had bound her hand and foot, and then informed her of the identity of her master.
Details
10
56 40 Among those behind her, in saddle sacks, balanced by sheaves of meat, was a translator.

56 66 "Surely you do not believe this?" I asked Zarendargar, Half-Ear, through the translator.

27 876 But Arconious in that moment, unnoted, the others distracted, had hurled himself forward, through the midst of the riders, and laid powerful, rough hands on he who was the translator for the beast, doubtless in the belief that he was first amongst the riders.
Details
10
27 912 The translator, Arconious' knife at his throat, turned white.
Details
10
27 914 He was then somewhat in advance of his fellows, and a few feet from the translator and Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 918 "No, no!" said the translator.
Details
10
27 1089 The sleen were lying near the body of the translator, their jaws bloody, dried blood even on the fur of their throats.

10
27 1100 Their forces, with the slaying of the translator, whose weapon had apparently been retrieved in the fray by one of those with Mirus, now numbered four, one of whom was wounded.

4 19 This conversation was at the time being conducted by means of the interlocutor's translator, clipped to the harness.
Details
10
4 32 Neither time did he speak, either verbally or through the translator.
Details
10
4 75 The translator is of little help here, but one gathers this was a reference accessible to the brunette.
Details
10
4 101 * * * * "I think," said Cabot, to the interlocutor, "you do not need the translator".
Details
10
4 103 "Of course it needs a translator," said the brunette.
Details
10
4 113 "When next he comes, use the translator," she said, "and demand more and better food, richer food, and more of it, and something other than water to drink, and demand proper clothing for me".
Details
10
4 121 "I am afraid our friend," said Cabot, "does not always turn his translator on".
Details
10
5 265 "Would you like to see our world?" inquired Arcesilaus of Cabot, through the translator.
Details
10
5 321 The translator pronounced these words precisely, clearly, unemotionally, in accents of Ar, but Cabot could tell that Arcesilaus deemed this an intelligence of some moment.
Details
10
5 413 Arcesilaus then said something which was not picked up by the translator, and the blonde immediately went to all fours, the leash dangling up to her master's hand, or paw.
Details
10
5 431 He had not used the translator.
Details
10
6 6 "Switch off your translator," said Cabot.
Details
10
6 8 Grendel shook his head, and did not move to touch the translator.
Details
10
6 16 Why am I here? What do you want of me?" Grendel turned off his translator, and turned away.
Details
10
6 43 Would not Arcesilaus be pleased? You could use the translator".
Details
10
8 35 "Behold," came from a translator, presumably that of one of the beasts flanking the object on the dais, "Agamemnon, The Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World".
Details
10
8 43 "Tal," it said, through a translator, seemingly within the metallic body.
Details
10
10 127 "Did Agamemnon, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the world, give him permission to come here?" came from Pyrrhus' translator.
Details
10
10 129 It was difficult to tell from the translator, or the movements of the body of Pyrrhus.
Details
10
10 136 "Of course," came from the translator.
Details
10
10 213 "Behold the human, my pet," came from Pyrrhus' translator.
Details
10
10 259 "Perhaps I will give her another chance," came from the translator.
Details
10
10 261 "I will give her another chance," came from the translator.
Details
10
12 11 "It is lovely, is it not?" came from the translator of Pyrrhus.
Details
10
12 95 "And later?" "Who knows what may occur later?" came from Pyrrhus' translator.
Details
10
18 51 But to return to the meeting of lips, or the pressing or touching of lips, by one or both parties, and such, which the translator, upon inquiry, suggests may be spoken of as a kiss, we note that the slave may be kissed and must kiss whenever the master pleases, and however he pleases, for she is own...
Details
10
18 162 "Greetings," came from a translator.
Details
10
18 249 The translator, however, provided the translation without passion.
Details
10
18 262 In any event, they reacted instantly, even before Cabot heard the translator.
Details
10
19 126 "Hail Agamemnon, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World," came from a translator, and the Kurii knelt, each on a single knee.
Details
10
20 11 "You are the human, Tarl Cabot?" inquired the translator of the chief prosecutor.
Details
10
20 17 "That question is to be ignored," said the judge, who was not visible, but whose presence was made known by a sound system, and whose words were picked up by the platform translator, set in the railing before Cabot.
Details
10
20 26 "We have ample testimony," said the prosecutor, whose movements suggested anger, though the translator spoke without passion, "that in the time of your location your life was in great jeopardy".
Details
10
20 58 "The jury will note," sounded the voice of the judge, which seemed to come from everywhere in the room, the platform translator producing this in Gorean almost immediately, "that the guilt of Lord Pyrrhus is overwhelmingly clear, albeit largely circumstantial.
Details
10
21 547 "Turn up your translator!" cried Cabot.
Details
10
21 550 "Direct it toward the sand!" "Light! Light!" came from the translator.
Details
10
25 28 "What are your names?" "Your translator will not carry our designations," said the larger of the two Kurii.
Details
10
33 5 Grendel reached to activate the small, disklike translator on his harness.
Details
10
33 13 Grendel snapped off the translator, it seemed reluctantly.
Details
10
33 292 "Turn on your translator!" said Cabot.
Details
10
36 155 He crouched down beside Arcesilaus, and turned on the Kur's translator.
Details
10
36 159 The translator, however, rendered this in a natural volume, and clarity.
Details
10
36 162 "You will fight against Agamemnon," came from the translator.
Details
10
36 164 "Take the ring," came from the translator.
Details
10
36 166 "Take it," came from the translator.
Details
10
36 168 "Now, leave me," came from the translator.
Details
10
36 344 "Master forgot to turn off the translator," observed the slave, her head down, smiling.
Details
10
36 349 "The world is at stake," came from the translator.
Details
10
38 4 "Hold!" cried Cabot to the Kur, and this message, even at the low volume on which the translator was set, carried to it, as its ears lifted.
Details
10
40 107 "Turn on the translator," said Grendel.
Details
10
40 109 "Turn on the translator," said Grendel, grimly.
Details
10
40 116 Cabot found and switched on his small translator, which he had set to a low volume, to reduce the likelihood of Gorean being detected by unwelcome ears.
Details
10
40 168 Cabot switched off the translator.
Details
10
42 121 Cabot switched on his translator.
Details
10
42 132 "What is wrong?" came from Cabot's translator, as he picked up the second Kur's query addressed to the first.
Details
10
42 142 "But you are human," came from Cabot's translator.
Details
10
43 3 "You do not understand! I am not to die! The others, not I! I am favored of Lord Agamemnon! I am high in the world! I am Ubara, Ubara!" These noises, of course, would be unintelligible to any Kur who lacked an activated translator.
Details
10
43 33 This was picked up on Cabot's translator.
Details
10
43 80 "I will kill her, and then you," said the translator.
Details
10
43 81 In Kur this was clearly a snarl, but it was rendered, as would be expected, with calmness and precision by the translator.
Details
10
44 143 "I would not turn on the translator," said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
44 169 At this point Cabot was much tempted to turn on his translator, but he refrained from doing so.
Details
10
44 192 Cabot's translator was not activated.
Details
10
44 195 "Turn on the translator," said Grendel, and Cabot did so.
Details
10
44 200 "Before a human?" came from Cabot's translator.
Details
10
47 113 "Do not activate your translator," said Lord Grendel to Statius.
Details
10
47 153 Lord Grendel, transferring his weapon to his harnessed arm, with his free hand flicked on his translator, that Cabot might follow what was said.
Details
10
50 70 It was registered on Cabot's translator.
Details
10
50 117 "Alas," said Flavion, in Kur distress, though the voice emerged quietly enough, precisely, as always, on Cabot's translator.
Details
10
50 121 "Surely more so than others," came from Cabot's translator.
Details
10
54 47 Concern was clear in his Kur, but this concern was not, of course, evident in the dispassionate account rendered in virtue of Cabot's translator.
Details
10
55 197 Statius suddenly uttered a sound, clearly of astonishment, but it was no word, or at least none programmed into Cabot's translator.
Details
10
58 33 "Originally with the help of the translator," said Cabot, "which produces recognizable Kur.
Details
10
59 12 "Do you think to insult us?" came from Cabot's translator.
Details
10
61 128 In Cabot's translator there was an indecipherable, unintelligible, staticlike sound.

64 119 Too, as she had no translator, and few were in her vicinity, and she could understand very little of Kur, she was not even clear as to what the nature and extent of the charges against her might be.

70 45 It may be recalled he had retrained the sleen in the forest, beginning with the translator, to substitute Gorean for Kur, such that the animal would now respond only to Gorean, and, as is usual with a sleen and single trainer, only to the particular trainer's commands.

70 67 Cabot switched on his translator.
Details
10
70 74 It was interesting how the urgency and horror of his utterance was rendered by the translator, calmly, precisely, unemotionally.
Details
10
72 2 "Kill him! Kill him!" Flavion was shrieking, with a rattle of chain, the translator conveying this imperative in Gorean with its customary passionless professionalism.
Details
10
78 159 Cabot's translator barely registered what was said.
Details
10
78 164 He spoke much, though doubtless incoherently, but Cabot did not know what he said, for he had, long ago, turned off his translator.

80 98 A small, weird sound came from Cabot's small translator, which was not really a word.

5 105 Without a translator I had no hope of deciphering the scent, but I recognized the voice, so to speak, of Priest-Kings, who communicate by scent.

5 108 I did not inquire of Sullius Maximus the location or fate of an appropriate translator, for I was confident he knew nothing of such a device.

10
5 164 To be sure, I had no translator, and was, accordingly, unable to read the message.
Details
10
5 170 Presumably the agent of Priest-Kings, he who had been intercepted, would have had about himself not only the message but a translator.

10
5 171 The translator would presumably, as it was outside the Sardar, open only to a code, and only at a certain time, and for a certain time.

Details

9 378 "The slave is female," came from the translator, mechanically, unemotionally, a placidity quite at odds with the roiling, tensed power that seemed to rise now like lava within that immense, living frame, "the price was twenty tarsks, and the buyer is by name Bina, and by title, the Lady Bina".

15 280 I would have given much for a translator.

10
17 165 Some I had learned from the Lady Bina, but more, interestingly, from the translator.
Details
10
17 166 As the newcomer to our domicile was incapable, for most purposes, of uttering intelligible Gorean, Lord Grendel taught me the use of the translator, so that I might have a means of understanding the newcomer, and communicating with him.

10
17 176 No equivalent to it, in Gorean phonemes, had been programmed into the translator.

17 177 When it was pronounced in Kur the translator, in Gorean, would be silent.

17 178 I had sometimes stayed by the two beasts while they spoke in Kur, turning on the translator, but lowering the volume, putting my ear to the device.

29 165 "Groom well, little kajira," came from the first translator, "and perhaps you will not be eaten".

29 167 I then heard from a second translator, apparently back a little farther than the first.

32 6 To our right, crouched on the dais, at its edge, before the curtain, was Lucius, whom I recognized, partly from his size, and partly from the glint of the golden chain from which hung his translator.

32 9 Although almost every Kur in the room bore a translator, and in spite of the fact that there were several kajirae, some six or seven, in the room, none of the translators would be activated.
Details
10
32 109 There was a golden chain, with a translator, looped about his neck.
Details
10
33 143 I remembered a glimpse of the golden chain swinging against that large, dark chest, the translator dangling from it, and then he had passed.
Details
10
42 21 He did not bother to use his translator, nor was there any need to do so.

44 14 All these remarks from the guard, of course, were transmitted by means of his translator.

48 287 The translator, of course, clicked out the words with no hint of the passion with which they had been uttered.
Details
10
48 330 Grendel stepped forward, to the center of the room, and Lucius, with a cry of rage, unintelligible in the translator, rushed forward and his ax, bright and double edged, described its swift, terrible arc, and in a moment might have cut away a head and part of a shoulder, but it was suddenly arrested...

52 174 I soon learned that it was rational, and could communicate in Gorean, by means of a translator.

50 159 In a moment the beast had returned to the threshold, the translator slung about its neck on a chain.

50 180 This translator, as I had hoped, was either not capable of handling English or, if it could, then, at least, it was not currently set to English.

10
50 182 Too, few Kurii understand spoken Gorean without a translator, and few can do little more than produce a grotesque mockery of human phonemes.

50 223 "I do not think you will leave the corridor alive," came from the translator.

10
50 227 Whereas this noise seemed to me no different from the noises the translator had been dealing with, rendering them into intelligible Gorean, no Gorean emerged from the machine.

53 142 He and Kurik could communicate in Gorean, and one translator, Surtak's translator, would be activated, else he could not communicate with his human confederate, whom I now understood was Drusus Andronicus.

10
33 74 "I wish I had a translator," said he who had admitted us.
Details
10
33 75 "What is a translator?" asked the man with the lantern.
Details
10
33 87 "Thus," said Kurik, "I do not think our hirsute friends, considering the presumed importance of this business, would be so negligent or stupid as to omit instructions, or forget to provide a translator".
Details
10
33 104 "Where is the device, the translator?" "One, I suspect," said Kurik, "was not deemed necessary".
Details
10
33 353 Surely they need no translator, a device for deciphering alien speech, to understand you.

10
43 16 "The translator will not be needed".
Details
10
44 31 Apparently no translator had been activated.
Details
10
44 56 If no translator was present, of course, the average human would find Kur unintelligible, as much so as the snarling of a sleen or the growling of a larl.
Details
10
44 78 I heard the click that, I gathered, deactivated a translator.
Details
10
44 107 About the neck of Lord Grendel, on a light chain of red and yellow enameled links, hung a small, metallic device, about the size of a man's fist, which I assumed was a translator.
Details
10
46 37 "I am going to activate the translator," said Lord Grendel.
Details
10
46 79 The utterance in Kur seemed tinged with impatience, or anger, but the metallic tones of the translator were judiciously noncommittal.
Details
10
46 154 Lord Grendel switched off the translator.
Details
10
46 172 Lord Grendel touched the translator slung about his neck, activating it.

50 17 His translator had not been activated.

10
50 115 He then, glaring at the startled, disconcerted Lyris, snapped on his translator, surely for my benefit.
Details
10
50 210 I deemed it fortunate that the translator of Lord Grendel was not activated.

50 305 No translator was required to make clear the Lady Alexina's disapproval, or revulsion.

52 82 "Yes," said Kurik, "no translator will be necessary".

53 129 He had had his translator activated when issuing this warning, presumably that any anxiety we might feel would be to some extent assuaged.

53 141 Lord Grendel's translator was turned off.

53 147 I followed the conversation via Surtak's translator, which, I supposed, had been activated for the benefit of Drusus Andronicus.
Details
10
53 161 This utterance was reproduced with the same neutrality as any other issuing from the translator, but even I could detect the exasperation or regret in Kur.
Details

53 213 "Let us return to the house of Decius Albus," we heard Lyris say, the words in Kur picked up by, and transmitted by, Surtak's translator.
Details
10
53 277 The transmissions from Surtak's translator were jumbled, and crowded together, almost like static, as the machine tried to isolate and sort out Kur, and produce comprehensible Gorean.
Details
10
53 278 Even so, there was little similarity between the placid output of the translator, however hesitant and disjointed, and the marked agitation and terror registered in the original Kur.

Details
10
61 6 Dangling about the broad, thick neck of the guard was a translator, and, momentarily, I realized it had been activated, for I could hear, relayed, and translated, speech from the box in the stands.
Details
10
61 19 The utterance in Kur was loud, ferocious, and horrifying, but the translator ticked off the translation in Gorean with its customary equanimity.
Details
10
61 66 "Lyris!" exclaimed Surtak, this name picked up on Lord Grendel's translator, and broadcast about.
Details
10
61 145 Lord Grendel's translator articulated, quietly, as the volume was set, "Yes, the Rings, the Rings".
Details
10
61 151 "I command!" "No," came from Lord Grendel's translator, and I saw that this must have picked up, and translated, Kur from the box, for Lucilius was on his feet, an ax brandished, eyes blazing, jaws slavering.
Details
10
61 195 "My translator is activated".
Details
10
61 199 "I deactivate my translator," said Lord Grendel, touching the device.

61 326 "You have seen the beasts kill men! Do you think you would be spared? Would you have them feed on you, as well as vulnerable, helpless, stripped kajirae? Do you want your blood to fill the goblets of such beasts? They are not your friends, they are your enemies! Fight them and slay them, as you woul...

10
61 485 "Fear not, noble High One," he said, "the festivities will shortly continue, and with appetites yet better whetted!" Surtak, clutching his ax, looking about, called out to Lucilius, wildly, desperately, his Kur picked up by Lord Grendel's translator.
Details
10
61 574 At this point, Lucilius, his translator slung about his neck, growled.
Details
10
61 684 Lucilius then increased the volume on his translator, presumably that its message might carry throughout the field, even to the soldiers at the two manned perimeters.
Details
10
64 168 Suddenly I noted that Lord Grendel had flicked on his translator.
Details
10
64 170 At the moment this made little sense to me, as he and Eve, at least in our presence, commonly discoursed in Gorean, and, if they wished the privacy of communicating in Kur, there would be no point in activating a translator.
Details
10
64 184 As Lord Grendel, doubtless for the benefit of the humans present, had activated his translator, we followed much of what occurred.
Details
10
64 289 Lord Grendel's translator appeared to emit nothing but unintelligible static.
Details
10
65 155 About the neck of Lucilius was a translator, doubtless that he might communicate with his fellows.

10
65 216 "Be silent!" came from the translator of Lucilius, the volume increased well beyond the normal level.

65 228 "Be silent, be silent!" came from Lucilius' translator.
