think about what that movie really was, 3 hours of ryan gosling acting against green screen. that's as impressive as tom hanks in cast away or matt damon in the martian. he had nobody to react too all rocky's dialogue was added in the editing room.
Very little green screen was used unless he was outside of the ship. They built a giant set for the ship and Rocky was a practical puppet voiced by his puppeteer.

can someone explain what exactly they did to be able to communicate like that?
Grace had recorded Rocky’s sounds and assigned words as they were communicating. He got tired of going back to the computer to read what Rocky said, so he assigned a voice to do it. It’s not really mentioned in the movie, but Rocky has perfect memory and can translate Grace’s language naturally after learning a word once.

so I’m not imagining that they went from one scene using the computer to translate to the next with rocky speaking perfect English?

The computer is always translating it because Rocky can’t form the sounds to speak English. It’s either off screen or Grace is wearing it on his side on a sling. By the end of the movie on Erid, Grace has learned to understand Eridian language without needing a translator.

ok that makes sense. The way they shot it though (for brevity and narrative ease, I get it) made it seem like rocky had learned English and the voice skills to speak it

Watched it recently. That was a very heartwarming and moving film. Highly recommend
