Hi, I'm still pretty new to D&D and I play as an aasimar and they understand common and celestial. My group was able to find an old book written in celestial, so it should be easy for my character to read. But my DM seems to be overly complicating this notion saying it takes my character hours to translate one page to common even if I roll high in an intelligence check and that does not make sense to me. Is this right even though my character can read and write in celestial?
I advise talking to your DM about this in an open manner (don't be confrontational).
It may be that the book is in some old dialect that your character is having trouble interpreting - like you or I would have a really hard time reading proper medieval Olde English.
As standard though, any language that a character knows, they are fluent in.
