Your Nestle Tip

>Therefore, the principle is that everyone speaks in whatever language
>they prefer. Others listen and ask for translation if necessary.

Occurs as a good idea. I found years ago working through translators [in
PRC] could actually aid understanding. [I told the story on one thread or
other].

More generally I think the tip is not a bad one in any meeting. How many
have you seen where people speaking the same language would benefit from
translation, or even the discipline of asking for it. Is the problem we
all have rembering how often translation is necessary?
