Did you catch this in AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER? The Na’vi seem to speak English a lot of the time, but they’re really not. Early in the movie, Jake says he knows the Na’vi language well enough that it might as well be english. He says this over top of footage that starts out subtitled before the characters shift to speaking english. This is a storytelling trick to make following the story easier on American audiences; not unlike the trick used with Sean Connery’s Russian submarine crew in Hunt For the Red October.
