You know, in fact that bit was explained in an episode of Deep Space Nine (or was it TNG?). An alien arrived at the station and at first, nobody could understand her because her language was so... alien that the translating AI couldn't figure it out. She kept speaking and nobody understood her, until suddenly an English word crept in, which was the sign that the AI was beginning to catch up. Pretty soon she was speaking fluent English.
Neat, huh?
