If he's the only one who can translate the language, what's to stop the memory block Oma put on him to keep blocking key details? Like their name, which would be why he doesn't know it.
They barely knew what Ascension was before that point. If he had a guide, which he hasn't, then he could probably do it.
I think you're forgetting what language a lot of our words come from. But who said anything about Latin? And why would they use that and not the translation? Besides, it's the same thing anyway. No matter whether I say 'fire', 'pyro', 'incendie', or 'kaji', it all means the same thing, that stuff that burns you when you touch it, right? So even though they use another language, it means the same thing. Languages = semantics.
Why can't we pick ships? A ship is a technology, technically. Go ahead and pick the Enterprise. With replicators you could build them anyway...except that you're forgetting, it needs a database to work from.
Again, if I can't have Atlantis, I'll take the Atlantis Stargate.

Dark Blues: I'm going to kill you!
Enzan: Not if I kill me first!
Dark Blues: You...are aware my goal is accomplished either way, right?
Enzan: ...Yeah...
