The Covenant DONT speak english... at least alot. In the book, the Fall of Reach, the Covenant are described as only talking english as a curse on planets that they are about to glass, and in the book Ghosts of Onyx the grunts (Unggoy) are described as being translators for english and other human languages. Also in that book Kurt-051 has a translator in his SPI armor that automatically translates Covenant languages. The fact that they dont in Halo 4 might be a mistake by 343 industries or perhaps John-117's translator maufunctioned / broke.
Ominous to know that this was one of the very first posts on wikia that I posted, and it's still in my notifications bar 2 years later.
