He didn't the ship, but scanned the space around the ships for soundwave transmissions. Kinda like the old fashion way of listening to a radio. Once they had your frequency, they listened to your language and matched it up with previously identified speech patterns. Then the computer attempted to translate Cybertronian into said speech patterns.Ergo, the transmission was in extremely broken..whatever language they speak on the Columbia. Is it English? I mean, they're human, right?

Uh. I have friends from all over the world after travelling. Their all human, their primary language must be English, right?

Silly assumption. Colonials speak Caprican primarily which is not English as it is before English. As it is before the current Earth we are settled on. So it would be unlikely that they would speak English, only to change into all those really old languages just to change back to English. Due to a lot of Gaelic references and all the notable Greek ones is hwy I have surmised it is similar, [i]similar[/i] to a mutilated old old Greek/Gaelic hybrid.
