It's the dissonance, I find. The translator gives a false sense of familiarity when it's working properly, for it translates words so seamlessly that everyone sounds as if they could have been born in the same village as me. You will find that, once you begin talking to people who are not speaking your tongue. They will sound as if they should understand all of your cultural mores and prejudices but the content of their words will be completely alien.
