Here's a list of all the blurry text from the translator.

Cueball: Hello!
Megan: Do you understand us?
Translator: Somewhat
C: I think we understand you, too!
T: Whence have you traveled here?
C: We came here up the mountain.
M: We're from the sea.
T: You arose here from the desert below? Nobody ???ires there.
M: We, um... We didn't quite understand that.
T: I am sorry. Your language is like those spoken by the ???ffiou?? ???? but I learned it.
T: Please have patience.
C: Of course.
<Conversation between translator and natives>
T: They understand nothing so they will tend to matters.
M: Of course.
T: Your bags.
M: What do you want our bags for?
T: They are heavy
M: ...Oh. Thank you!
T: You're welcome (to it)
T: Tell me where your home is.
M: We live by the shore, near a river that flows down to the sea every year.
T: What river?
M: It's a smaller river - not the one that flows from your land. We collect things that float down it.
C: There are people in the hills where our river comes from.
M: They don't like us.
T: How many people strong are you?
C: There are about forty of us.
T: ??? forty? All my numbers are too small.
M: Um. Four Ten Times. Five eight times.
T: Yes, good.
