It doesn’t need to translate, just provide definitive answers and even the dumbest dog or cat would learn how to make the different sounds, and then what they mean.

The entire point of this is that owners wouldn’t need to pay attention. Their pets collar will just blare simple words/phrases at them and sometimes it’ll be right
It’ll almost always say “feed me” and the pet will almost always want that, so it’s gonna feel like it’s working.
It helps pets communicate, but only pets who have bad/lazy owners.
