All the languages in "An Obol For Charon"?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

You all know the scene I mean. It's the one where the Universal Translator malfunctions and people start speaking in random languages.

I'm just curious as to whether there's a website or transcript that breaks down exactly what all these languages ARE, and who is speaking what. Can anyone confirm?

Subtitles?

Subtitles?

The subtitles tell us what they're actually saying. I just want to know what languages they're using.

Memory Alpha:
"[...]Pike orders Burnham to find a way to communicate with it or disable it. Burnham acknowledges his order in Klingon. Pike asks – in French – why she is speaking Klingon. Returning to the bridge, Pike enters a scene of utter pandemonium, with the crew apparently speaking a variety of different Earth languages, including Norwegian, German, and Italian, as well as non-Human languages such as Andorian. R.A. Bryce explains, in Welsh, that the sphere answered their hails, resulting in the cacophony. The computer displays appear to be suffering the same problem. Burnham calls Saru to the bridge; as he enters, Pike welcomes him (in Hebrew) to the "Tower of Babel", and Burnham (in Mandarin Chinese) remarks that Saru knows more languages than anyone in the ship. Saru replies in the same tongue that he is fluent in 94 languages. Burnham then explains (now in Spanish) that the ship's universal translator has been infected with a computer virus, translating everything into different languages. Working through the various language barriers, Saru brings up the English to be understood. However, Detmer reports her console is another matter, believing the language she is reading is Tau Cetian."

FYI-- I wasn't referring to the subtitles that were part of the episode, I was referring to the subtitles for the hearing impaired that you can access in your settings. Those subtitles do state which language is being spoken.

The subtitles on the Blu-ray do provide what language is being spoken with the translation.
