Some things, maybe. The universal translator issue is probably similar to why they didn't bother inventing a new language for every alien species in Stargate: it would be too much hassle/effort. But when it comes to physically representing something that even someone with a basic knowledge of physics knows is silly, when it would be simpler & less effort to represent something more feasible [e.g. field coils], it just makes no sense.
