How they went to ALL those worlds and found people speaking perfect English on every one of them strained credulity. A few early episodes of "Star Trek - Enterprise" showed first encounters without a universal translator and it just slowed down the story line.

About the only way it works is when the Klingons spoke in their native language in the movies and the English translation was captioned on the screen. Can kinda add to the atmosphere hearing the different language spoken. And real time translation like in the UN can be assumed when different species speak.
