生活 is the target, not the object. It's said that the verbs that take に have some kind of "directionality" such like ~に対して "towards". (Some verbs that take を also have directionality, for instance 北を向く, ゴールを目指す, though. )
The relation between verbs and particles in Japanese is similar to the one between verbs and prepositions in English. You need to remember whether the verb can take を or に(or other articles), i.e., transitive or intransitive after all. It would be hard to explain to non-native English learners why it should be "to enter a location" or "graduate from a school", and not "to enter to a location" or "graduate a school", right?
2)
Notice that 開かれる is passive.
3)
に indicates the result of the change here. (Have you ever seen ~に変わる "to change to~"?) いろいろな国のことば is not the object in the first place. There is no object in that sentence since 翻訳されています is passive also here.
4)
The same reason as #1.
5)
宮崎さん is a kind of location in this case just like 宮崎さんの家 "Miyazaki family". 宮崎さんの赤ちゃんが生まれた is grammatical, but this means "Miyazaki's baby was born", thus, it's directly talking about the baby, not Miyazaki, so it sounds a bit unnatural with 知っていますか. (In other words, 宮崎さんの赤ちゃんが生まれた is no problem as an objective description of an event.)
