I believe they explained the 'everyone speaking modern English' this way: If they had to spend a quarter of each episode learning the language of the people of the world, it wouldn't leave much time for anything else to happen (a very valid point, in my opinion.) Suspension of disbelief is what Sci-Fi is all about.

They start out using the Stargate then end the series flying a large man made space ship with beam weapons, hyperdrive, shields, and a cloaking device. Ya it was time to say good bye.
As for everyone speaking english, hey, ITS A TV SHOW. Duhhhhhhhh.

Technically, they don't have any beam weapons on their ships (railguns and missiles, which we today could build), the hyperdrive was supplied by the Asgard (not human made), shields also supplied by the Asgard, and I can't remember anything about a cloaking device
I still think it's a lot better show than most of the vacuous crap that's on TV today, even if it has departed somewhat from its previous premise.
