WHAT DO YOU MEAN SLOUGH OFF IS PRONOUNCED SLUFF OFF??????

I thought it was pronounced like sloth, whilst my dad and friends thought it was an ow sound.

And before explaining let me say I LOVE THE READING THAT IT IS ROCKY TALKING LIKE THIS IN HIS AUTISTIC LITTLE MANNER PLEASE DO NOT MISINTERPRET MY INTENTIONS.

That being said.....

Was saying question Rocky or was it the translator?

In English it is common for pitch to become higher or lower during a question, something that a translation software initially programmed without a voice, and then given a monotone voice, would struggle to output. This issue would have been a massive hindrance to a mission reliant on learning about each other and establishing complex plans.
