    The universal translator has always been a bit loose, though. If you apply that same scrutiny to the next generation, then every episode with Worf would never explain any of his Klingon culture without the words automatically translating to English.

      At least the excuse of Klingon words is because they are insults like P’taq, how you translate a very specific insult? Also, why the federation will be interested in translate bad words.

      You saw the Reddit automatic translation? In spanish translate all the english slangs into mexican slangs for no reason.
