The current image is confusing, is it a French-English bilingual trying to communicate with a German? I prefer this image:

Keep current; I assume Translation Convention is occuring, and it's nice to have a two-way example that clearly shows the confusion. I find the suggestion a little more confusing because it doesn't involve an actual language.

back lol

Agreed, “can cats talk here?” Is way more confusing than “can they understand German?”

And the third panel of current makes it funny to me. Keep Until Better Image Suggested

Keep. There's nothing in the suggestion that confirms a language barrier, more that cats don't "talk."

I know more about obscure 1990s Middle Grade Literature novels and dolls than most people.
