It may be a bit of a silly question. Or maybe not. Will we still need translators and interpreters in space?

For them, a phrase like "There is an ant on your southwest leg" would be perfectly normal and immediately understood. How does this difference in language reflect or influence the way Kuuk Thaayorre think? In a recently posted TED talk, Lera Boroditsky discusses this and other examples of how language shapes the way we think.
