The reason I had two students mention Professor Wang by name is that I thought it was important to imply that Mandarin is, in fact, her native language -- because it is.  Translation magic turns whatever words the target speaks into the native language of whoever's listening -- which is why three different people in their classroom could hear Mandarin, English, or Spanish, those being their native tongues.  (Aylia would probably just hear English, that being one of her three native languages.)
