So what is the answer?
14

• The mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix
  formed by combining the conscious thought
  frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the
  speech centers of the brain which has supplied
  them. The practical upshot of all this is that if
  you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can
  instantly understand anything said to you in any
  form of language. The speech patterns you
  actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which
  has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
• --The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by
  Douglas Adams.
