“Digital Ambassador” negates penalties when using translator apps. But, I cannot find any translators or translator apps. I’d assume the penalties were -4 to the appropriate skills for not speaking the appropriate language.
“Face in the Crowd” allows you to hide in sneak with a bonus in groups of 10 or more. Does this include combat situations?

Are these questions for 1st or 2nd edition Starfinder? Both of these feats exist in 2nd edition, which is what I'm familiar with and will refer to, but are not described in the book exactly the way you're summarizing them here
As long as you’re using a comm unit, datapad, or computer to communicate, when you attempt to use a skill action with the linguistic trait on a creature that doesn’t understand the language you’re using, roll a DC 15 flat check. On a success, the effect works as if the creature understood the language you’re using. If you’re Legendary in Society, the DC is 10.
Comm units and datapads are personal equipment and are described in Adventuring Gear, beginning on SFPC p.238. "Computers" are more general and can cover pretty much anything else used for the purpose. The rules for building a computer are in GM Core, here on AoN. And you are correct. An example of the penalty this feat negates would be the one for attempting to Demoralize a target who doesn't understand your language
You know how to get lost in a crowd. You can use cover from crowds to Hide and Sneak, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to your Stealth checks when in a crowd of at least 10 creatures and a +4 circumstance bonus to your Stealth checks when in a crowd of at least 100 creatures. Hidden creatures don't count as members of a crowd. If you're a master in Deception you only need 5 creatures to get these bonuses.
"Crowds" are described in GM Core under Urban Environments, here on AoN. They are considered difficult terrain but as described probably would not stand still if combat broke out so I doubt you'd get much benefit from it during a fight. You could use this feat in a crowd for its Stealth bonus to get close to your target and to begin combat hidden using the Avoid Notice exploration activity

I do not have access the the gm core. I appreciate you explaining what a “crowd” is. No one else that I asked was able to and the phrase was not hyper linked.
For “digital ambassador” my search(I use Google more than my book making a character) must have turned up an old version of the feat.
Thanks!

No worries. And using Google instead of your book or AoN explains it. I just looked in my copy, and the playset version of Digital Ambassador does mention translator apps instead of comms and datapads. Now that AoN has a proper drop-down option to switch to Starfinder 2e rules it should be easier to find things there
