I vaguely remember long ago seeing an interview that explained that new worlds would default speak English because otherwise they’d have to spend the majority of the episode with Daniel having to learn each new language.

I always assume it was a plot hole/device to keep the story moving.
No way in hell everyone speaks English or anything close to it. Each SG team would need a linguist just to make contact.
For things like star trek they have translators to explain it away but for Stargate I just accept it. Otherwise the show wouldn't work.
