Universal translators?
Does anyone know of universal translator system in the SW EU which doesn't require the use of a protocol droid?
Something like in Star Trek where it relies on speech patterns to work out the best translation.
The reason - well I'm working on an idea for a story going into Wild Space beyond the known universe where I'll encounter species that almost certainly wont speak Basic.
Any help would be great!!!

There is no such item hence the requirement for Protocol Droids that can speak over 3 million dialects.

a droid would have more chance than a universal translator would.

Well I always wondered how '3PO would manage sign language with those hands of his - he struggled to pick a communicator in ANH.
I think when I go exploring Wild Space I shall blunder forth and take what ever comes my way!

Nah, seems the only Universal Translator is the one that allows us to hear Standard as English... but not read it. Unless, of course, it is on tractor beam controls, then we can read it just fine...
