The same things happens with animals. In English, dogs are usually 
referred to as "it" but when you know a dog personally, like a family 
member, people say she or he. In German it's different, since gender is 
part of words anyway. A dog is male until you find out it's female.

True. It was translated by Robyn Stewart aka Qov.

episode DSC 1.04 "The Butcher's Knife cares not for the lamb's cry"
at 0:27 the device says {ngI'chu' muD} "Atmosphere pressurization complete."

BTW, the only person in the room is voq.
