    Actually, if you read the codexs in ME1 it says exactly what @ThandalNLyman suggested.  The omni-tool/implant acts as a universal translator for people to speak to each other.  Honestly, do you really think Asari or Turians would lower themselves to only speak the language of such newcomers as Humans??  Not to mention the vast different languages even among humans...so Krogans, speak Krogan, Asari speak Asari, and Turians speak whatever....lol....and the universal translator puts it into whatever language is understood by the user.

    As a gameplay mechanic....yeah, I just as soon NOT have to read all the lines by Aliens in the game so they can mumble out their language instead of having a awesome voice actor really bring them to life....Looking straight at Wrex in ME1.

Actually, the Angaran first contact we see wasn't the actual first contact by Milky way species. Both the outcasts and the Krogan had extensive contact, both had contact with the Nexus after said contact. I could easily see the program auto updating the language info on them as those groups exchange data or come into contact with each other. My issue from that scene is why didn't Drack mention them after landing as he should have had contact with Angara on the Krogan colony.

Right, I forgot that wasn't first contact.
