I'm going to be pedantic here. Yes, you CAN translate computer code into English. We programmers do it all the time and translate accurately English-to-Code and Code-to-English (otherwise computers wouldn't work.) That's quite literally what we do for a living.

Same with mathematics. YOU might not be able to understand it or translate those into English, but we can.

Likewise the type of birdsong can be categorized fairly easily... which you'd know if you were a birder.
