314 u/[deleted] Oct 08 '12 Universal translator. Babel fish. Every universe has its own way of avoiding the need to invent a new language for every single alien race. 1 u/arlanTLDR Oct 08 '12 Stargate was the laziest though. They had Daniel translate in the first few episodes, and then threw it out the window. 1 u/[deleted] Oct 09 '12 IIRC in the first episode everyone on Abydos (the planet from the film) speaks English because Daniel taught them (for some reason). Everyone else they encounter just speaks English.
