Translation talismans were magical artifacts fashioned by Dark Jedi. These artifacts granted the ability to interpret and comprehend the Sith language as if it were the user's mother tongue. Ommin, the King of Onderon, owned one of these amulets and permitted its use by Satal Keto, a Tetan socialite. Upon wearing the amulet, Keto immediately gained the capacity to decipher the contents of a purloined Sith spellbook that he had been unable to understand before.
