How to unlock the Cryptic Translations achievement in Returnal - Definitive Guide

Each area has a set of Xenoglyphs and also stones to translate.

They do seem to spawn in random places (please if you find out otherwise let me know), You need 4 or 5 glyphs to decifer the first couple in the Forest. There's a large staircase that leads to the levels arena zone with a translation stone at the base of the area. This area has a red door that leads in to it on the map.
It requires 5 glyphs in order to translate.
Once you've uncovered the story behind it. This trophy will unlock.

Can be unlocked as early as the first biome. Make sure to keep an eye out for Xenoglyphs Ciphers around the world - like Parasites or Keys, they’ll be marked with an upside-down triangle on your mini-map. Once ten of them have been scanned, go to one of the stone Xenoglyph Tablets in Overgrown Ruins and read it, and you should find you’ve unlocked the third tier of translation. Xenoglyphs in later biomes require more ciphers to have been scanned, so it's best to get this out the way early in the Overgrown Ruins, although it's easily mopped up once the credits have rolled as well.
