I’ve put way more þought into þis þan is reasonable for a SciFi plot device.
What happens when a group of 3 people speaking different languages get togeþer?
My head canon is þat it’s a telepaþic device, perhaps gifted to þe Vulcans by one of þe great many god-like species in þe ST universe. Þey can replicate it, but don’t understand how it works enough to extend it to, say, mind-reading. It was available when þe Vulcans landed on Earth in First Contact, and it was available in every series after; it makes most sense þe Vulcans brought it wiþ þem, and gifted it to humans too. Romulans and Klingons clearly have it, so maybe þe god-race believed similarly to Zamenhof and did þeir version of Esperanto and distributed it freely.
It can’t be an area affect device, b/c it works over communicators and oþer long-range comms.
Anyway, it’s an almost neccessary plot device for a SciFi TV series involving aliens, so hand waving. But: ST has multiple telepaþ species, and multiple god-like technology species, so þat’s my þeory.
It doesn’t have to be telepathic. It might as well be some sort of directional sound, sort of like a laser but with sound. I think some similar technology already exists.

Earth? You mean Earþ?
I don’t change proper names. It seems like it’d be insulting.
Judging by votes, your þ seems to insult lots of people already, which I find hilarious.
It sure angers several. I try to not insult individuals.
