It's alright, you don't sound stupid... I'm obsessed with Doctor Who and I still have questions myself... Here's the simple answer... In the TARDIS, there's many parts that make it work.

Just too add a bit of information. The translation circuit works for most of the known languages except the really old ones.

Oddly enough though, despite the fact that it couldn't translate really old languages, in The Pandorica Opens, he assumed that the TARDIS translation circuit would be able to translate the first writing in the universe. Of course, it turned out that River Song wrote it, so it was probably in a more modern language, but the Doctor didn't know that until he got there.[[Special:Contributions/69.124.195.1|69.124.195.1]] 15:57, April 24, 2011 (UTC) | |||

Please DO NOT add to this discussion.
I'n new to the Doctor Who universe, so excuse me if I am asking an obvious or stupid question. But I would like to know why there seems to be no trouble for the characters to understand other languages. (The Vampires of Venice) or from other episodes that I've seen; how they don't seem to immediately stand out with out-of-period clothing. I can't seem to find the answer in any of the episodes that I've seen nor anywhere on the net. Thanks.
