Well I dont see why not! She does for Kheldar and I already and spends a lot of time switched off
Do you speak German? She works best in German for some reason! Alec and Kes have made some wonderful inventions for us here in the bar but do not seem to have cracked some language problems, the Pizza oven refuses to speak anything but Italian and the internet toaster is just plain moody (but dont tell anyone I said that or there will be no toast in the morning)!

No, but I speak some Russian, would that be close enough, do you think? Swashbot, eedtee' (come here).

Pajalousta, oobeerat' kayootah nomir dyevit, Swashbot. Spasiba.
(Please, tidy up cabin number nine, Swashbot. Thank you.)
I'm only beginning to learn the Russian language, Light. Are you sure she won't accept English commands? I either told her to clean my quarters, or I asked her to hurl nine rotten herrings at the Captain. I'm not sure which. It would help if you could spell your vocalizations in the Cyrillic alphabet, Swashbot.

Swashbot is the mechanical cleaner that Kes and Alec built for me when I stopped being able to be here all day every day! She is a great cleaner and glass washer. I have never heard her talk, she merely whirrs loudly whn things are really messy. Originally she only understood German Commands, but she seems to be getting the hand of things now and dealing with a slightly broader range of commands. I have also never figured out why she brandishes the sword so much but since she does her job so well I have never challanged it!
Who wants another drink?
