The NET Bible gives translator notes to explain why they translated a certain way.
Re: Tongues - In Acts 2:4, the play on words between "tongues as of fire" and "to speak
in/with other tongues" would be lost if translated here as "to speak in/with other languages."
Even though the NET Bible here uses "languages," it has a note explaining that the Greek
word is the same as for the tongues as of fire. (However, in I Cor. 12:10, the NET Bible
strangely reverts to "tongues.")
