A character magically gets the ability to hear a character who speaks a different language speak the former's own language.

In most cases the latter is aware of this, but in some cases the latter will either mistake it for InexplicableLanguageFluency or not even realize the former isn't a native speaker of their language. In some works this ability will be [[AWizardDidIt gifted to them by a magical character]], while in others the magic takes its course without anyone's help. If it's a human character who gets the ability to hear what animals are saying, it might result in the former saying YouCanTalk or something along those lines. Often happens with {{Animorphism}}.

* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': Subverted. Ever since ThePilot where Blythe has an accident with the dumbwaiter and hitting her head, the TranslationConvention is used on the animals whenever the show is in Blythe's perspective, but she still says she can ''understand'' them, not ''hear'' them.

* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': Subverted. Ever since In ThePilot where this seems to be the reason the TranslationConvention is in effect whenever we see the animals from Blythe's perspective, since it isn't in effect until Blythe has an accident with the dumbwaiter and hitting her head, the TranslationConvention is used on the animals whenever the show is in Blythe's perspective, but head. But she still says she can ''understand'' them, not ''hear'' them.
