Is it a glitch that the radio and paper can translate the words?

I lastly found that radio can be a translator machine.
It is why people usually install radio transmitter and receiver closely.

When I understood writing paper can translate without knowing radio can do as well,
I thought the people have various spoken languages but share the writing system.

It was weird so I needed an explanation for it so I found a similar example. Chinese.
Chinese people have different languages by regions, but they share a mutual intelligible writing system.
So they can communicate each other with writing papers even they don't learn other region's language, if my understanding is correct. i'm not chinese,

So I made a hypothesis that the language system of OHOL world is an homage of Chinese.
However the fact about radio leads me to think the hypothesis is wrong.

So far, we've thought communication via a paper is one of feature... but in fact it was a glitch?
If it's not a glich, how can we understand other's language only if we use pencil and radio?

Sorry in advance if this topic will lead to more restriction.

I think your thinking a bit too deep with this one.
The radio wouldn't be much use if other families couldn't understand you.
The system works well as it is.
It might not make total sense but it's better than nerfing radios which don't get used much anyway, and have to resort to juggling items to try and communicate.

Language itself is a bug right now I swear.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to learn the languages of other families.

1.- It is a well implemented error
2.- It is a magic radio!
3.- It is not a radio, it is Babel Fish
4.- This is Star Trek

For sure this is Star Trek with all the borgs around....

Its simple. There is a very old white town far far away, and they have nothing to do then sitting all day on the radio and translating all the stuff.

Since robots do all work for them, they are so fat, that they cant even move away from the radio.
