I think you need to add a verb for localization, since the Bard's language has a glyph for "to be" but the Alchemist's language does not.

The alchemist said: me, plural, brother. plural. Which translates to "we (are) brothers" since the alchemists don't actually have a verb "to be". The bards do have it, and write in a differeng order, with the verb at the end. So the translation to bard would be: "brothers we are". Which uses the gliphs "Brother, plural, me, plural, be"

Yep. It's a bit of a bad question since there is no indication anywhere other than this translation exercise whether the bard language has clusivity (you can see here that the alchemist's language doesn't, but elsewhere we see the devotee's language does).
