Only Farscape came up with a way to bridge that gap. That SciFi show had “translator microbes”, artificial organisms you were injected with that inhabited the brain stem which gave you instant translation services. Whether you like it or not, an interesting solution to that “SciFi Showbiz” problem!

That sounds just like Douglas Adams Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy... the Babelfish translators that lived in ears & translates intergalactic languages...

That sounds like a scaled-down version of the Babel fish of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
The SG-1 episode “Moebius (Part II)” had the team go back to the year 3000 BC and teaching English to the people of that period, as a way of “explaining” how English somehow became a galactic lingua franca.
