One of the things that can happen on the Ghenalese Front is that Dari can meet and help translate for some people from her lost home country. The "language" SL used for this is a fairly straightforward cipher of plain English text, a variation on the Caesar Cipher, with pairs of letters substituting for one another instead of a consistent numeric shift. I was able to crack the first word pretty quickly while going through the event code for the war math spreadsheet. If you're interested in trying basic decryption for yourself, the method for breaking this sort of cipher is explained in this charming and appallingly racist Edgar Allan Poe story.

Here's a translation of the lines of of dialogue in game:
