silentsummoning: (contemplation)

Hmm, I just reviewed the section of the FAQ that addresses translation, and it's a bit confusing. Is telepathic text translated for everyone? It says anything sent telepathically is translated, but then it says that reading comprehension is up to the player. So let me try to clarify this. Telepathic text is translated but illiterate people wouldn't be able to understand it. Stuff written outside the telepathic network (on paper, etc.) isn't translated, or isn't necessarily translated. Natives' written language won't be translated. Is this right?

That means that Auau would be able to telepathically communicate with any literate player character, but not communicate at all with natives in low frequency worlds. (In high frequency world, she can summon a spirit of language to translate for her.)
