We all know the Chief has the translation software in his helmet to help him understand what's going on in the Enemy's minds during battle (what they can't contain within themselves, anyways), but what about the humans?

What spawned my interest was, on the Truth and Reconciliation in Halo 1, After rescuing Keyes, he says he heard the (elite? grunt?) Guards talking of Halo and it's significance.

One more hint towards the understanding of forerunner tech by the Humans?

As you know, you have to retreive Captain Keyes' neural chip in level 9. It is this chip that allows him to understand the Covenant.

So the marines stop and think about what that Jackal corpse said before his head was torn off by a sniper round? heh...just kidding.

T. Grunt - you sure about that? or is it a self-determined fact?

It's a self-determined fact. It makes the most sense to me, as those neural chips can do just about anything, including ace your math finals as we learned in tFoR.
