What if this Universal Translator being activated is an important inciting incident in our canon's timeline? Like, perhaps there is a period of separation where worlds and realms are separated by barriers of language, and suddenly, their being able to communicate changes everything- like, we say that Earth is "shrinking" because of humanity's increased ability to communicate across the globe... well, the cosmos would "shrink" in a similar manner. Heck, that could be one of the main premises of the Reverie Multiverse.
