This is from that Fun With Fleagles (that is, EC) era, so the need fror such technology  would have been apparent, just to know what the heck was Spa Fon and Squa Tront.  I wonder if Roy would have been amazed, or just "well, obviously" to learn we can do such translations on our tiny smartypants (er, smartphones), ala Kirby's Mother Box
