They do the paperwork!

Idrisah's device here essentially makes up for the human handicap of being unable to speak two tones at once, a common feature of avian languages. It has a couple different modes, including direct translation (speak English, avian language and captions come out), stenography (attach keyboard device, type abbreviated avian language to speak it), and harmonic speech (speak unitone avian language slowly and the speaker predicatively adds the second pitch). The last mode is a little janky but it can help with clarification when the direct translation guessed wrong. People who use a lot of direct translation tend to speak "interpretor-ese" to their mic, i.e. choosing weird word combinations because they get the intended translation out the other end.

Ixion plant is a human-run facility on avian territory, so they have two official languages: Jovian English and Tiiliitian. Ohwihtiil and Cheevwut speak English and use it commonly around the office, but the temp avian workers and governmental visitors vary in fluency. Idrisah understands spoken Tiiliitian and uses the clip-on translator to respond in it.
