Oh, man, I didn't expect this to come up so soon, if ever. Dai probably knows the answer, though, and it might be the same as petridish's answer:
The nanites (tiny bloodborne robot friends) from L's previous game provided translation there. Would they work here even with the MID being out?
They do not seem to require that the people on both ends of the conversation have them, as the characters in the game were able to understand people's speech at planet stops, even when the planets were impoverished.
L speaks probably about 8 contemporary earth languages and bits of others, so either way is totally cool with me! Definitely break them if it's better for the game.
