[Star Wars] What exactly do moisture vaporators have to say that you need a droid to translate?

Couldn't a simple screen with columns of numbers handle pretty much all of the relevant communications for a giant dehumidifier?

Look at it this way, if you tell a Binary Loadlifter to "stack boxes over here" it will continue to stack boxes until the floor collapses under the weight of them all, even if it has to actively leave the area to find more boxes of things to stack. And then, even without a floor, it will continue to stack boxes in the designated area. With a protocol droid to translate commands into the appropriate Binary, "stack boxes over here" becomes "Stack the boxes currently located within this warehouse that are designated with X licensing code into this particular area. Do not stack the boxes located with Y or Z licensing codes. If you are out of boxes to stack, go into low power mode until..." etc... The purpose of the protocol droid translator is to give a command so perfectly specific that it gets exactly what is needed done without any issues along the way. So specific that a human couldn't possibly give it in a reasonable time.

The same idea applies to vaporators. While they don't need to move any boxes, they still need excruciatingly complex commands in order to achieve their goal properly.
