What is the Translator in Fisch?
The Translator is a crucial item introduced in the Alien update of December 2026 that allows you to communicate with Glorp, an alien NPC who crashed his UFO at Roslit Bay. Without this device, you cannot progress through the Alien questline or access the exclusive rewards associated with helping the stranded extraterrestrial visitor.
Contents
This quest represents one of the most significant additions to Fisch in recent months, offering players a unique sci-fi twist on the traditional fishing gameplay. The Translator serves as both a story device and a gateway to exclusive items that cannot be obtained through any other means in the game.
Getting Started: Meeting Dr. Crookspine
Your journey to craft the Translator begins at the Oil Rig, where you’ll find Dr. Crookspine in the Laboratories. This eccentric scientist is researching the UFO crash and has the knowledge needed to help you communicate with the alien visitor.
Location: Oil Rig Laboratories at coordinates (-1920, 227, -525)
To reach the Oil Rig, you’ll need to spawn a boat and navigate to the structure located between Roslit Bay and Sunstone Island. The Oil Rig is one of the more remote locations in Fisch, so be prepared for a journey across open water.
Once you arrive, head to the top level of the rig where you’ll find Dr. Crookspine’s laboratory. Speak with him to begin the quest chain that will eventually lead to crafting the Translator.
The Prerequisite: Catching Gleebous Fish
Before Dr. Crookspine will help you craft the Translator, you must first prove your worth by catching fish with Gleebous mutations. These special mutated fish are key to the Alien questline and serve as your entry point into this new content.
How to Find Gleebous Fish?
Gleebous mutated fish can be caught near the UFO crash site at Roslit Bay. However, there’s a catch – these fish are invisible to the naked eye! To locate them, you’ll need to use a Fisch Radar, which will reveal hidden Gleebous fishing pools around the coast of Roslit Bay.
Location: Roslit Bay (near Glorp’s UFO at coordinates -1520, 141, 340.3)
Catch Rate: 5% chance when fishing in Gleebous pools
Required Tool: Fisch Radar to locate pools
Tips for Catching Gleebous Fish
- Use the Right Equipment: While any rod can technically catch Gleebous fish, using a rod with good luck stats will increase your chances.
- Patience is Key: With only a 5% catch rate, you may need to fish for a while before catching your first Gleebous fish.
- Fish in the Right Spots: Make sure you’re fishing in the areas revealed by your Fisch Radar – these are the only places where Gleebous fish spawn.
- Stock Up on Bait: Bring plenty of bait to avoid running out during your fishing session.
During my research, I found that players commonly catch Gleebous Ribbon Eels, but other fish types can also have the mutation. Once you’ve successfully caught three Gleebous fish, return to Dr. Crookspine to receive the Translator recipe and begin the main crafting quest.
The Three Translator Parts: Locations and Fishing Strategies
Now for the main event – collecting the three components needed to craft your Translator. Each part must be fished from specific locations using particular equipment for the best results.
Complete Translator Parts Guide
| Part Name | Location | Recommended Bait | Best Rod | Progress Modifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Translator Core | Roslit Bay | Garbage | Training Rod/Flimsy | -40% |
| Device Display | Ocean | Garbage | Training Rod/Flimsy | -25% |
| Communication Circuit | Sunstone Island | Garbage | Training Rod/Flimsy | -30% |
Translator Core – Roslit Bay
The Translator Core is the heart of your translation device and can be found by fishing in Roslit Bay, specifically near the shore closest to Glorp’s crashed UFO.
Location: Roslit Bay (nearest shore from Glorp)
Coordinates: Near (-1520, 141, 340.3)
Best Strategy: Use Training Rod with Garbage bait
Pro Tips:
- The Translator Core has a -40% progress modifier, meaning it takes longer to catch than regular fish
- Stick to the shoreline areas rather than deep water for better results
- Consider using a rod with good progress speed to offset the negative modifier
- Fish during different times of day – some players report better luck during night hours
Device Display – Ocean Region
The Device Display serves as the visual interface for your Translator and must be fished from the Ocean region.
Location: Ocean (anywhere in the Ocean biome)
Best Strategy: Use Training Rod with Garbage bait
Pro Tips:
- With only a -25% progress modifier, this is generally the easiest part to obtain
- The Ocean region is vast, so consider fishing near known fishing hotspots
- Some players recommend fishing near shipwrecks or underwater structures
- Bring plenty of Garbage bait as you may need to make many casts
Communication Circuit – Sunstone Island
The Communication Circuit is the most complex component, handling the input/output functions of your Translator. It can only be found at Sunstone Island.
Location: Sunstone Island (any fishing spot)
Coordinates: Navigate to Sunstone Island from the Ocean region
Best Strategy: Use Training Rod with Garbage bait
Pro Tips:
- This part has a -30% progress modifier, making it moderately challenging
- Sunstone Island is a popular fishing spot, so expect competition from other players
- Consider fishing during off-peak hours for better results
- The island has multiple fishing spots – try different locations if one isn’t working
Advanced Fishing Techniques for Translator Parts
Optimal Equipment Setup
For the best results when fishing for Translator parts, I recommend the following setup:
Primary Setup:
- Rod: Training Rod (best for trash items) or Flimsy Rod
- Bait: Garbage bait (essential for catching trash-tier items)
- Enchantments: Any luck-boosting enchantments you have access to
Alternative Setup:
- Rod: Any rod with high luck stats
- Bait: Garbage bait (non-negotiable for these parts)
- Accessories: Luck-boosting items if available
Fishing Strategy Breakdown
- Timing Matters: Many players report better catch rates during specific times. Try fishing during:
- Night time (in-game)
- Weather events (rain, storms)
- Server restart periods
- Location Optimization: Within each general area, some spots are better than others:
- Look for bubbling water or visual indicators
- Fish near structures or obstacles
- Try different depths if your rod allows
- Patience and Persistence: These are rare items with negative progress modifiers. Expect to spend significant time fishing for each part.
- Multi-tasking: While fishing for Translator parts, you can simultaneously:
- Fish for regular fish to sell
- Complete other fishing quests
- Explore the area for other resources
Crafting the Translator: Step-by-Step
Once you’ve collected all three parts, return to Dr. Crookspine at the Oil Rig to craft your Translator. Here’s the complete process:
Step 1: Return to Dr. Crookspine
Travel back to the Oil Rig Laboratories and speak with Dr. Crookspine. He’ll recognize that you’ve collected all the necessary components and offer to craft the Translator for you.
Step 2: The Crafting Process
Dr. Crookspine will take your three components and combine them into a working Translator device. This process is automatic – you just need to confirm the crafting dialogue.
Step 3: Receive Your Translator
After the crafting sequence, you’ll receive the Translator item in your inventory. This item is now ready to use for communicating with Glorp.
Using the Translator: Meeting Glorp
With your newly crafted Translator in hand, it’s time to meet the alien visitor and begin the next phase of the quest.
Finding Glorp
Location: Roslit Bay at coordinates (-1520, 141, 340.3)
Landmark: Large crashed UFO
Glorp is easy to spot – just look for the massive crashed UFO on the shore of Roslit Bay. The alien NPC will be wandering near the crash site, speaking in incomprehensible gibberish until you use your Translator.
First Contact
Approach Glorp and use your Translator item. The device will automatically activate, allowing you to understand and communicate with the alien visitor. Glorp will explain his situation and ask for your help.
Glorp’s Quest: Collecting 15 Gleebous Fish
After establishing communication, Glorp will ask you to collect 15 more Gleebous mutated fish. This is a significant step up from the initial 3 fish you caught for Dr. Crookspine, so be prepared for an extended fishing session.
Quest Requirements:
- Collect 15 Gleebous mutated fish
- Return to Glorp with the fish
- Use the same fishing spots and techniques as before
Rewards for Completing Glorp’s Quest
Once you’ve collected all 15 Gleebous fish and delivered them to Glorp, you’ll receive exclusive rewards that cannot be obtained through any other means in the game:
Primary Rewards:
- Blade of Glorp: A unique weapon/item with special properties
- Glorp Saucer: A decorative item or equipment piece
These rewards are highly sought after by players and represent some of the most exclusive content in the Alien update.
Common Challenges and Troubleshooting
“I Can’t Find Dr. Crookspine”
If you’re having trouble locating Dr. Crookspine:
- Double-check that you’re at the Oil Rig, not just any rig structure
- Make sure you’re on the top level of the rig
- Look for the laboratory area with scientific equipment
- Try visiting at different times – some NPCs have spawn schedules
“Gleebous Fish Won’t Spawn”
If you’re not finding Gleebous fish:
- Ensure you’re using a Fisch Radar to locate hidden pools
- Fish in the correct area (Roslit Bay near the UFO)
- Check that you’re fishing in the revealed Gleebous pools
- Be patient – the 5% spawn rate means it may take many attempts
“Translator Parts Won’t Drop”
If you’re having trouble catching the Translator parts:
- Double-check that you’re using Garbage bait
- Ensure you’re fishing in the correct locations
- Try different fishing spots within the designated areas
- Consider using different rods or equipment combinations
- Remember that these are rare items with negative progress modifiers
“Translator Won’t Work with Glorp”
If your Translator isn’t working:
- Make sure you’ve actually crafted it (check your inventory)
- Ensure you’re close enough to Glorp when using it
- Try re-equipping the Translator item
- Check if you need to complete any prerequisite steps first
Pro Tips and Advanced Strategies
Maximizing Efficiency
- Batch Fishing: Instead of making separate trips for each part, consider collecting all parts in one extended fishing session. This saves travel time and keeps you in the fishing mindset.
- Resource Management: Bring more bait and supplies than you think you’ll need. These rare items can take dozens or even hundreds of attempts to catch.
- Server Hopping: If you’re in a crowded server, consider switching to a less populated one. This can reduce competition for fishing spots and potentially improve spawn rates.
- Time Optimization: Some players report better results during specific in-game times or weather conditions. Experiment with fishing at different times to find what works best for you.
Money-Making Opportunities
While working on the Translator quest, you can simultaneously profit by:
- Selling any regular fish you catch
- Completing other fishing quests in the same areas
- Collecting valuable resources found near the fishing spots
- Trading rare fish with other players
Long-Term Benefits
Completing the Translator quest opens up several long-term advantages:
- Access to exclusive Alien-themed content
- Unique items that may become more valuable over time
- Bragging rights for completing one of the game’s most complex quests
- Potential future content tied to the Alien storyline

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Translator mandatory for progressing in Fisch?
Yes, the Translator is mandatory if you want to communicate with Glorp and access the Alien questline. However, it’s not required for general game progression or other fishing activities. You can enjoy most of Fisch without ever crafting the Translator, but you’ll miss out on exclusive Alien-themed content and rewards.
Can I buy the Translator or its parts from other players?
Currently, the Translator and its components are not tradable items. You must collect all three parts yourself through fishing and craft the Translator with Dr. Crookspine. This ensures that all players who complete the quest have earned it through their own efforts.
How long does it typically take to complete the Translator quest?
The time required varies significantly based on your luck and fishing skill. On average, players report spending:
- 1-2 hours catching the initial 3 Gleebous fish
- 2-4 hours fishing for each Translator part
- 30 minutes to 1 hour for the final 15 Gleebous fish
- Total: 6-12 hours for most players
What happens if I lose my Translator?
If you accidentally lose or delete your Translator, you’ll need to craft a new one. However, you won’t need to recatch the Gleebous fish or redo the initial quest steps. Simply speak with Dr. Crookspine again, and he’ll allow you to craft another Translator if you have the three required parts.
Are there any time limits or seasonal restrictions?
Currently, there are no time limits or seasonal restrictions on the Translator quest. Once the Alien update was released in December 2026, this content became permanently available to all players. You can take as long as you need to complete the quest without worrying about missing out.
Can I help other players with their Translator quest?
While you can’t directly give other players your Translator or its parts, you can help them by:
- Showing them the best fishing spots
- Giving them tips on catching Gleebous fish
- Providing moral support during long fishing sessions
- Sharing information about optimal equipment and strategies
Will there be more Alien-related content in future updates?
Based on the official Twitter announcements and the scope of the current Alien content, it’s highly likely that more Alien-related content will be released in future updates. The current questline appears to be setting up an ongoing storyline that could expand with additional quests, items, and features.
What’s the best rod for catching Translator parts?
The Training Rod is generally considered the best option for catching Translator parts because it’s specifically designed for catching trash-tier items like the Translator components. However, the Flimsy Rod also works well. Avoid using high-end rods designed for rare fish, as they may be less effective for these specific items.
Do I need to complete other quests first?
No, you don’t need to complete any other quests before starting the Translator quest. However, having a well-established character with good fishing equipment and resources will make the process much easier. New players can technically start this quest immediately, but they may find it challenging without proper equipment.
Can I complete the Translator quest solo?
Absolutely! The entire Translator quest is designed to be completed solo. While you can benefit from community tips and advice, all the required activities (fishing, crafting, talking to NPCs) can be done by yourself without needing assistance from other players.
Conclusion: Your Journey Awaits
Crafting the Translator in Fisch represents one of the most engaging and rewarding questlines in the game’s recent history.
