a bit of a stray thought but: it seems to me like the bajorans have implant-type UTs (since not only local militia members, who may have translators installed in their comm-badges, like starfleet personnel does, but also the civilians can understand fed. standart/other languages pretty well, even aside from the forced-bilingual thingie), so. LOGICALLY. it may mean odo (who probs can’t shapeshift a part of himself into a complicated machinery (his communicator ie and such)) actually needs to learn languages. speaks good (obvs) bajoran, cardassian and ferengi, knows dominionese instantly through linking, doesn’t understand half of what federation people are saying till like mid-season 2, understands two out of ten words in klingon and, by the end of show, speaks little belarusian (where’s no way worf ever said a word in standart english in his life, what’s the point). in every alien-of-the-week ep he’s just. dissociating in the background waiting for kira to explain him what’s going on

yeah I always wondered about thatwhen he shapeshifts where does the combadge gowelp I'm a rat who swallowed a communicatorI'm a rock....with an embedded communicatoror can he do that shit?I mean laas figured out how to turn into a space creature that travels at warp
