The universal translator is treated as a magic Babelfish, allowing anyone to understand the language of someone the Union has never met before, which means that no samples of their language would be in the translation computer files. This hand-wave is carried over from Star Trek.
Moclan biology makes no sense. It appears that the "males" have all the necessary equipment for reproduction, which implies that they are in fact hermaphrodites.
