In the United States, the construction industry has always employed non-English speakers. In the past, these were nearly always laborers. Immigrants would come to America and seek manual labor jobs because the language barriers kept them from other opportunities.

Today, you still have non-English speaking laborers. The most well-known example is the Mexican. But you just might have, for example, an Indian engineer or German project manager. Many construction contractors are also finding their customers have limited English. This is especially true in places where Asian entrepreneurs are expanding or renovating.

In your line of work, you need to communicate with these people. Misunderstandings can result in rework, cost overruns, and equipment damage. And then, of course, there are the obvious safety implications.

But what if you don't speak that other language?

One approach is to hire a human interpreter, but where do you have the budget for that in your project? Not only must the person be bilingual or multilingual, but you must also provide this person with safety training and personal protective equipment. Worse, this person's translation abilities might needed in multiple places on multiple job sites simultaneously. How many can you afford to hire?

And, a little-known fact. Human interpreters don't always interpret correctly. They may simply guess and hope nobody figures that out.

A great solution is to buy an electronic translator (or several such devices). And, yes, we accept Purchase Orders for these impressive devices.
