Given that nearly all the worlds visited were within the network regularly visited by the G'ould, they could have given them all the same language as Abidos had -assuming that the G'ould master was able to impose his own language on the secities he ruled over.

Watching the team learn a new language each week would get old, eat into run time, and add nothing to the story. DHDs may be responsible. Based on the evidence available, Carter and Daniel believe that the DHD may be responsible: "This is incredible," she said, "If he's speaking Greek but we hear it as English It didn't work for us before. Maybe there's something in the DHDs that translates languages - " " - yes!
We can -" " - understand alien cutulres, even the ones with root languages that may not be familiar to us," Carter said.

Of course, that just raises more questions, like why it only sometimes affects the Goa'uld and Ancients or why the Russian Stargate program still spoke Russian, but it's a good find.

Not a bad attempt, but it doesn't explain how offworld humans in the pre-Moebius timeline could do it ; — Lightness Races in Orbit. If SG-1 was intended to promote the USAF and the US, then I'm sure it's deliberately ironic that SG-1 went bumbling out into the galaxy with an arrogant sense of entitlement and made everything at least ten times worse aside from the one episode in which there are no galactic enemies left.
The Ancients can understand English after listening to it for a very short time In the canon comic book Stargate Universe: Back to Destiny 2 , the Ancients are shown to understand English after listening to it for a remarkably brief period of time but it is never explained how. Young: Do you understand what I'm saying? We're bleeding energy and we-- Ancient: I understand you.
Your language was easy to learn-- Eli: In like 30 seconds? Daniel Jackson: You understand what I'm saying? Nox Man: It took time to learn your speech. Samantha Carter: Not much time. Out of universe: it's been brought up and deliberately avoided This was addressed, and deliberately avoided, in a behind the scenes episode of Sci Fi Inside about Stargate: Atlantis. Community Bot 1. Thunderforge Thunderforge One of the commentaries also addressed this.
I can't recall the precise wording but it was basically "Hey, how come everyone speak English? And we've already done that episode". I recall that too, but couldn't remember where I read it.

Any idea where in the show this was answered? Upcoming Events. November Topic Challenge: Samuel R. Delany ends Nov There isn't. I've looked long and hard to find a way to rationalize this problem, because I really enjoyed the show too.
But I've never been able to resolve the problem. Here are some common rationalizations and why they all fail:. This rationalization fails to account for how non-Tau'ri humans and aliens are able to speak plain, American English when speaking directly to main characters such as O'Neill or Carter without the presence of a translator or interpreter. The show may be able to translate for the audience, but it cannot translate for the characters without some kind of in-plot translating device.
That brings us to rationalization This rationalization fails to account for why O'Neill can't understand Russian, Goa'uld, Asgard, etc, as the Ancients would not have designed such a faulty and arbitrary universal translator.
Moreover, it's hard to accept the idea that if a universal translator existed, especially one so faulty, that no one would make mention of it. This rationalization fails to account for why there are no scenes depicting our characters consciously switching from the universal gate language back to English to confer privately in the way that we have observed the Goa'uld and Jaffa switch arbitrarily between their language and English.
Since these language switches are not consistently portrayed, we cannot accept a universal language explanation as sufficient. There is also a cursive Goa'uld script that appears to have been created from scratch. The alphabet illustrated has been seen in the series, in a text message sent by the Goa'uld to Stargate Command. It is the only Goa'uld script in the series that can be translated easily.
The alphabet in the series is actually the Nahkt hieroglyphic font, and it was used to write various jokes in different episodes. Another hieroglyph font used in the series was the Meroitic script font. It was originally believed that Goa'uld is usually written left to right, top to bottom. However, official documents of the Free Jaffa Nation , as seen in the offices of Gerak and other Jaffa High Councillors, show Goa'uld written from top to bottom; as yet, it is unknown whether the columns begin on the right as Chinese characters traditionally do or on the left as with the Mongolian alphabet.
The Goa'uld have also been known to use various other ancient scripts and languages. SGCommand Explore. Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5.

When people who went through the stargate come back to Earth they do not magically acquire fluency in any other Earth language.
This is manifestly not a sufficient explanation When people come to earth, they are still speaking English, even when talking with people who have not been through the stargate. This rules out all sorts of explanations. Just no. Setting aside all of my aesthetic objections to this theory, the English they speak is much too linguistically modern given the isolation of earth. And finally I have one.
So although we must still explain why they share a language, we need not explain why it is English. The stargate can rewrite the genetics of people who travel through it on the fly. Given the other things we see ancient tech do, and given that it is canon that the stargate does dematerialise and rematerialise you rather than just physically sending you through, I do not feel this is too much of a reach. Given these two assumptions, we can explain everything.
This feature was made with the following cultural assumptions: Everyone who matters already speaks Ancient Planets are long-term homogenous stable civilizations, so only speak one language. Linguistic isolation is only possible between different worlds between which, prior to the invention of the stargate, communication and travel between was much slower.
