The caster gains the ability to verbally communicate with any creature in the area using the creature's language.
The caster casts the spell and can understand all verbal communication taking place in the area of effect.
The caster can then communicate with any creatures in the area of effect as a group or individually using their spoken language. The language is the one used last; thus a creature can change languages and the caster will communicate back it using that language. The caster can communicate to a group in any language used by the group.
If a creature has not spoken, the caster speaking to it will be using it's racial/native tongue.
Others in the area gain no special ability to understand languages so if the caster is speaking to another, and the language is not understood, all that is heard is unintelligible.
