So back in the old days people had to figure out how to translate languages to each other, right?? Especially old dead languages with not many active speakers or... knowers... so eventually old dudes with nothing better to do did digging good and found a slab that actually had three different versions of the same thing inscribed on it, so it was a thing of like 'here's how you translate language a to language c'.
And now it's a set of super expensive computer software to help people learn languages, but it doesn't have a vaguely threatening cartoon owl to condescend to you if you don't do your Japanese lesson, so who's to say if it's any good.
