It's fun to speculate and theorize how some of these Star Trekian things work, but the reality is that it's all fiction. Someday there probably WILL be some sort of automatic translator. Heck we have phones that now do that with recognized languages. But traveling the cosmos and having it work with an alien species never met before - that's some technology.
Star Trek has dealt with the issue in past shows where the translator doesn't work, or the species prefers it NOT be used all the time, so it's good that the powers that be recognized that fact.
Strange New Worlds, based on its timeline, should occasionally run into translation difficulties, and the second episode referenced that with the term "sheperds".
