There is no serious dispute that English is the global
language of business, science and commerce.
Whatever might be the case in 100 or 200 years’ time, today
it’s probably a relatively safe assumption that most senior overseas business
visitors to Australia will have a good working command of the language.
However, that should not encourage complacency.
The fact is that there are exceptions to the above general
rule. Some VIPs may only have a “fair”
knowledge of the language and that is something, as a host, it would be prudent
to take out some insurance against.
That insurance is having an interpreter available when you
have your luxury limousine hire vehicle meet your VIP at the airport.
The reasoning behind
this is clear:
- If your visitor does not speak good English, having the interpreter on hand may be invaluable and someone that gets the “wheels rolling”;
- Even if they do have very good English, your provision of an interpreter shows thought and courtesy. It also indicates that you value their language and culture – and are prepared to deal in that if necessary.
Of course, there is the slight possibility that your visitor
might be slightly offended that you thought they’d need an interpreter. However, the chances of that occurring are
perhaps relatively small and the benefits as outlined above, may outweigh any
such risk considerably.
