AgentZero, as for your statement about Russian, it's pretty simple (I think):

You detect what the other person is thinking. Even if you're only thinking in abstract text, you will automatically trigger memory "files" with related subjects, which incorporate images. You can extrapolate what the other person is saying through analysis of these images.

Aye, that would work reasonably well when dealing with two humans who speak different Languages, but wouldn't do you a lot of good with an alien. Assume you're telepathic/psychic, and I'm an alien. Through the use of a 'Your Pile, My Pile' system, you propose a trade with me, then scan my mind to find out what I am thinking. The unintelligible giberish you recieve activates a memory 'file' that brings up an image of a large, hairy, six-legged carnivore attempting to mate with a tree.

Question is, what do I think of the deal?
