The thought just occurred to me: they talk about it being a big deal that the Ocampa only live nine years and... We assume they mean nine Earth years. But they never actually establish how long an Ocampan year is. If they have an orbital period similar to, say, Saturn, she could easily outlive Tuvok while lamenting that she "only" gets nine years.

Pretty sure the universal translator translates units too. Many times aliens (from outside the Alpha quadrant) using "parsecs" for instance. Wouldn't really make sense otherwise, since the translations of those would be often pointless
