Comment on Can you hide wired conversations behind a language barrier?

The only time I heard of this working is back in WW2 with the Navajo Code Talkers. The Germans couldn’t (or had a very hard time) translate the conversations at all. Not a history buff so I could be wrong on the details.
Best to use an E2EE messenger.

The use of Navajo worked because the Axis countries, including Germany, trying to decode were not aware of the Navajo language and were trying to decode it into English/French/etc.
A constructed language is just about the only possibility, but we can translate dead languages up to a point and someone trying to create a language is likely to end up with a structure close enough to make translation trivial.
