Hiding Behind the Language Barrier	comment	Alice, Bob and Claire all speak Language A, which is usually the language the work is written in or translated into, and may be the "common" language of the world. But Alice and Bob also speak Language B, which may be their native language, while Claire does not, enabling them to have private conversations if Claire is in earshot or they know Claire is eavesdropping. To qualify, Alice and Bob must also speak a language Claire can speak, and Claire's inability to understand the language must be her only obstacle to understanding it; if she's deaf and unable to read lips, it doesn't matter whether she can speak Alice and Bob's language. This trope can also be used to keep information from the audience, depending on whether a translation is provided. If the language is real and not translated, it can be a Bilingual Bonus. This trope can be subverted if, unbeknownst to Alice and Bob, Claire knows the language they are using, leading to a Bilingual Backfire. See also Censorship by Spelling which uses similar methods to achieve the same goal. If Alice and Bob also pretend not to know Language A, they might use a Completely Unnecessary Translator. Subtrope of Language Barrier. If this is done just to tease and intrigue Claire, it is Teasing from Behind the Language Barrier. If this is done to insult Claire without her knowing, it is Insulting from Behind the Language Barrier. May overlap with Language Fluency Denial if they never speak Claire's language while she is in earshot. See also Reality Has No Subtitles. Compare As Long as It Sounds Foreign.

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier / int_101de222	comment	Attempted in the Underdogs novel Acceleration by Simon, a teenager with Down syndrome and selective mutism, who signs something to Ewan so Rubinstein won't understand. Ewan doesn't know British Sign Language, so he waves his hands around randomly so he won't look stupid in front of Rubinstein, to Simon's confusion. Rubinstein says, 'Your friend was saying, "She looks trustworthy." I don't know what you were saying back, though. Maybe your BSL's more advanced than mine.'

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier / int_135f4195	comment	Dune The deadly Count Fenring and his wife make heavy use of Obfuscating Stupidity, including punctuating their speech with lots of drawn-out hmmmmmmmmmmmmmms as an apparent Verbal Tic. When the book switches to their point of view, it turns out the humming is a code language to let them privately converse and coordinate their act in full view of everyone. There's mention of "battle languages" being used in combat; presumably similar to the Windtalkers version, though it could also be a Constructed Language to ensure total secrecy.

House takes one look at the guy's red eyes, then tells him in Spanish to bring eyedrops the next time he decides to get high at work and accidentally breaks his thumb. Wilson, who doesn't speak Spanish, asks the patient what House said.

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier / int_231d83aa	comment	The Two Popes: During a private meeting with Cardinal Bergolio, Pope Benedict XVI notes that when he has to make hard and tough announcements, he will deliver them fully in Latin. This is because only about 20% of his Cardinals understand Latin fluently and so only 20% will understand what he has said while others struggle to catch up. True to this, when he announces his resignation from the Papacy, it is in full Latin and over half of the Cardinals present turn to the other asking if they just heard what they think they heard.

In Making Money, Vetinari says "Pas devant le gendarme" to Moist, and Sergeant Detritus helpfully explains "Dat means no talkin' in front of me." In Unseen Academicals, one of the wizards snaps "Pas devant la domestique" to another when he mentions Archchancellor Bigger's Bequest in front of Glenda, the Night Kitchen cook. Ridcully reflects that Glenda looks like someone who's suddenly very keen to learn Quirmian.

However, one of the few instances where they seemingly forget to stop speaking English while discussing these confidential matters with one another inadvertently leads to an old woman overhearing, and realizing they're convicts on the run. This can lead to them being forced to silence her permanently.

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier / int_98037c5	comment	The Quiller novels by Elleston Trevor In The Quiller Memorandum, the shadow executives have been taught an obscure Pakistani dialect they can use to communicate with the Bureau when simple Spy Speak isn't enough. Later when Quiller has been drugged and starts babbling in that language, his interrogator notes the use of Native Americans for this trope during WW2 and assumes the Bureau got the idea from that. In The Peking Target, Quiller has been captured by the Soviets, who force him to make a radio transmission giving a false report to his base. Unknown to the KGB boss, his translator is on Quiller's side. So the KGB boss tells Quiller what to say in Russian, the translator tells Quiller what the actual Soviet plan is in English, and Quiller must then transmit that information to his base in a manner that sounds plausible (if the false information contains the words Seoul or Peking, for instance, the KGB boss would be suspicious if he didn't hear those words) while inserting code words so his handler knows what information is false and what isn't. It's not for nothing that particular chapter is titled â€œMinefieldâ€�.

Tom's brother Sewyn is there in the 8th grade class and takes delight in hazing Tom and the other 7th graders (as he was presumably hazed when he was in the 7th). At one point early in the book Sewyn exposits to another 8th grader, "Remember, speak in Latin when we don't want the 7th graders to know what we're saying."

That season was filmed at the time of the Swine Flu outbreak and had to be rerouted at the last minute. They spent an unprecedented three legs in China because of it. Siblings Victor and Tammy used their ability to speak Mandarin to ask for favors and directions from the locals without having to talk to any of the other teams and without them being able to understand what the locals were telling the two of them. There was also a food ordering task that they were able to beat everyone else at by over two hours because they already knew how to speak the language. It allowed them to beat much physically stronger teams while there and eventually come in first.

Based on real-life events; in both World Wars, the American military in some cases obfuscated codes by having speakers of Native American languages such as Navajo and Cherokee relate them. Even if the enemy found someone would could understand (for example) Navajo, they'd still have to break the code itself. If transmitted in English an enemy codebreaker (who might be expected to know English) could reasonably guess that "turtle" might refer to a tank, but if you don't know what the world for "turtle" is and can't even pick it out of what is (to you) a stream of gibberish, your task as a codebreaker just got significantly harder.

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier / int_f0a86c12	comment	How I Met Your Mother: Ted and Barney befriend a Russian bouncer who takes them to an underground poker game. Ted ends up winning a lot of money from the other players who are very shady and dangerous looking. Just as it looks like Ted is going to get killed, the bouncer intercedes, shouts a few phrases in Russian and things quickly cool down. Ted and Barney are grateful to have made such a great friend but do not realize that he actually told the other players that he plans to rob Ted and Barney and will return everyone's money when he is done. When Barney first met Ted, he has Ted pretend to be his deaf brother to impress a girl. She starts signing at Ted (who signs back). Barney believes that Ted is playing him up to the girl, when he's really telling her that Barney's a liar, having her give him a fake number. The gang also switches to Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness to talk about Robin's new foreign boyfriend in front of him. He does speak English, but not fluently, so being overly formal is enough to keep him from understanding.

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier / int_f0c816fb	comment	Breaking Bad: When Hank gets promoted as the liaison to the El Paso DEA office, his new coworkers don't respect him, partly because he cannot understand any Spanish at all (a not insignificant issue when they directly border Mexico). They use this to their advantage, talking crap about Hank right in front of him without his knowledge. Karma catches up to them pretty quickly though.

Hiding Behind the Language Barrier / int_f3ae2ad9	comment	This happens a couple of times in the Bernie Gunther series. In A German Requiem Bernie, a German, has engineered his fake arrest by the Russians in Vienna in order to gain the trust of Lotte, another German. He and Capt. Rustaveli of the Russian police discuss this, in Russian, right in front of Lotte. In Field Grey, Bernie, Weltz, and Rascher are on a train, guarded by a Red Army soldier from the Ukraine. Bernie figures out that the Ukrainian is a killer who is going to eliminate them. After telling the Ukrainian in German that he's ugly and his mother was a whore, Bernie decides that he doesn't speak German. Then he turns and tells his German companions in German that the Ukrainian is there to murder them. Weltz and Rascher don't believe him, which is why they die moments later.

Lily asks Louis for a translation, but he refuses. "...The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding": Lestat and Louis argue in French so that Claudia doesn't know exactly what they're discussing about her. She scribbles in her diary that "Fighting sounds funny in French."
