okay i love mass effect. ME1 is my 2nd favorite game and ME2 is my third. but ever since 1 ive wondered: where are the krogan, salarian, and turian women? i mean its just interesting that they wouldnt even be walking around. and also, why do all the aliens speak english? even when humans arent around? i'd love to hear some native languages or maybe a codex entry as to why english is the only language heard. maybe a chip implant or something? post your thoughts and if you think one or both should be incorporated into ME3. Thanks for reading!!
A few logistical questions

We talked alot about, this and we all asked ourself the same thing.
Translator explanation can be found on the Codex, they are implants near the vocal areas, that translate on the go, no much different from translators in development today.
So it is in the Codex.

here we go, found it.
Technology: Translation
Human cultures remain linguistically divided. Some converse in Spanish, others in Mandarin, Arabic, Swahili, etc. Every alien race has their own equally broad panoply of languages and dialects.
Most individuals know only their mother tongue, and rely on machine translation. Modern portable computers allow anyone with a few hundred credits of equipment to enjoy seamless real-time translation of alien languages, courtesy of handheld PDAs, computers in clothing or jewelry, or sub-dermal implants. Without fast and accurate translation, galactic trade and culture would not exist.
Governments provide subsidized software, updated through the public extranet "on the fly", often as users approach spaceport customs facilities. Even the batarians, who isolated themselves from galactic society nearly two decades ago, take pains to provide up-to-date glossaries and linguistic rules, though most suspect that this is only so they can continue exporting propaganda.
It is still considered broad-minded and practical to be able to speak without machine aid. Children often take courses in alien language, and most races can speak the simplified artificial "trade tongue" with little difficulty.
Some species must rely on machine translation to interact with the rest of the galaxy. Hanar, for example, cannot reproduce the spoken language of any humanoid species, and other races cannot reproduce hanar bioluminescence without mechanical aid. Newly discovered or obscure races don't have machine translation available until the linguists have had time to study them.
