Breaking The Language Barrier
Being in the hospitality industry, it is expected that you will face challenges in communicating especially with those who do not master English as a spoken language. Even a simplest request for directions can be a daunting task. I often find myself in the situation where I desperately search for help when a guest approached me with a foreign language. In my profession, it is very important to understand the needs and wants of the guest.
At this age of modern time, many countries still do not recognize the international language, English as a lingua franca. Travelers around the world find it wise to master the language of the country they are visiting to benefit them in many ways. Otherwise, translation services are the perfect solution.
We all know that wrong communication may result in unpredictable consequences. There is no doubt that regardless spoken or written, messages need to be conveyed accurately in the exact meaning. So do you speak my language?

Globalization has made English a paramount ingredient for every business dealing. Since borders have been removed, we can now communicate with anyone using English. Nations in Asia must embrace this truth.
Yeah your are very right in dealing with the language. Language is very important indeed. :)
It's one thing to be a visitor to a country and not speak the language but it is another to set up permanent residence in a country and not learn the language. People need to be accountable and learn to communicate with that countries primary language.
Oh yes, that's even my opinion, 'cause I'm from Germany and for example if we wouldn't learn English here I couldn't read all those English blogs. But blogs (really just an example) are very important to read other opinions and also other opinions from other countries. And you'll get informations what's going on in the world - And for that reason I think everybody should speak this language.
I like it. It's very funny.
"Helping you break the language barrier" is translated into Croatian as "Possibility to break tongue ramp".
If we implement the Translate gadget on our pages, is there a way to monitor the number of users who translate into the various languages? We'd like to keep track of visitors by language to better serve particular language communities.
It's good that Google is trying to help on getting more people from different cultures to read our content, however this doesn't mean that we are going to get indexed by Google's additional languages or Search Engines in different languages so basically is a good approach but is not necessary the best approach to reach new visitors.
