Anyway, that's where it got it's name - the babel fish in hitchhikers was a small fish which you inserted into your ear and which fed off your brain waves. As a by product, it excreted raw psychic waves into the brain of the wearer, which by a stunning coincidence had the effect of translating any spoken language into that of the host. It was accompanied (at least in the tv series) with a (then) stunning animation showing the humorous results of mis-hearing,before rambling off into another plot altogether.
