I don't think this character's name is "Babe". That was intended to be the Dino Boner collector's name.
The character in this game is unsure of their identity, and other characters don't know how to react.
This is my only game featuring the blind prophet. So, you can only really read into what you find here. But I think he will return someday.
I believe the "cameo" you are referring to is a silhouette of a Dassmann. It is a modified version of a sprite created by Oddwarg. Dassmann is a character from Oddwarg's "hemma" universe. Banaan is, too. I'm confident that there are several Dassmann drawn into the terrain of 2's world.
As for a translation, you are free to try to create one. The game's Java source code is here https://github.com/hubol/2-desktop I can't offer any help working with this, though.
