| Sep 23, 2015 at 13:46 | comment | added | Liesmith | I agree with Rogue Jedi; I always thought the TARDIS simply didn't translate it because it's the "default" language for any intended pilots. River says it "doesn't" translate, not that it "can't be translated". | |

| Sep 23, 2015 at 12:40 | comment | added | b_jonas | Maybe it's sort of a secret language like Dwarven, which the dwarves never taught to non-dwarves; or a strange language like the one of ents which no other people bothered to learn, because it's much easier for ents to learn their language. | |

| Sep 23, 2015 at 11:12 | comment | added | Rogue Jedi | I always assumed that Tardises don't translate High Gallifreyan because the creators assumed only Time Lords would travel in them, and they would already speak it. | |
| Sep 23, 2015 at 10:23 | comment | added | user46509 | There's also an episode where the beasts language can't be translated because it's too old for the tardis to recognise it | |
| Sep 23, 2015 at 10:22 | comment | added | user46509 | Possibly its age? Or it doesn't want to? | |
