Pizza delivery? Well, "Chief-Translator" implies that it had something to do with language. Studying some alien markings? Translating speech for the mine workers? Computer "language" stuff?

ok...I believe more in the pizza delivery then the other ideias lol.
Seriously might be some old language that they found deep in the mind(maybe it was because of the artifacts) and they called Mr.Howard to translate it.

I'd guess he translates laungages between workers, or more likely some ancient laungage (runes or the like) found in the mountain. It whould probably be something cheesy like "Don't open the box". Ofcourse, the miners dont understand this:
"Hey, whats in this box?"- Opens - "EEVVUUUUL FLOOWSSS!!!"

lol!! Just one big LOL. I still think he was there to translate ancient stuff. Not to tell the miners "do not open the box".lol.

Boss: We're not going to pay you any more money.
Worker 1: What's he saying?
Howard: You'll get your paycheck by the end of the month if you work really hard.

Free work-staff ftw.

Well, most games/movies with ancient laungage involve a box, house, door, shrine, temple or cave wich it clearly (In Alien laungage) sais above: "Do not enter/open", and the stupid mine workers always say: "Huh, whats this?" "Idk, lets enter/open it and see!".
A few seconds later they got red eyes, wrinkly skin and screams when you point your flashlight at them.

LOL!

Worker1:What's this box says?
Howard: It says do not open it or will come a giant worm!!!
Worker1:What? Cookies?! YAAY! I want a cookie!!!
Howard: NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
PUFF!! The worm apears in kills everyone.
