Howling:Blending Issues

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

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.

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. For example, there's the Chameleon circuit which (fails to) make it blend in with it's environment.. But got stuck as a Police Box from 1963.. Well one part of the TARDIS is called a Translation circuit. The TARDIS, being a setient device, has a psychic link with any travelers that happen to go with the Doctor. If, for example, you go to 19th century Germany in the TARDIS, you hear English because the TARDIS is inside your head translating the language for you. And there you have it.. Feel free to ask any other questions... (and also, sign your posts with 4 tildes "~") TheTARDIScontroller 00:35, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
