Humans have determined that chimpanzees and other species do communicate, and in many cases how they communicate, even if those who study such things don't understand the communications in anything but the broadest sense. Being able to communicate with aliens isn't really what we're asking for, but merely detecting that communications are happening at all.

Humans scarcely care how other earth-bound species communicate enough to identify it as communication - how do insects and plants and fungi communicate? What information is whale song (mammal) transmitting? Is the 52 Hz whale communicating, or not? Alien communication will look far more different even than that.
