Im often the "translator" in various work environments. Not because I speak languages, but because I know more english than most of my coworkers. The person needing translation is speaking english, but as a second language. They are clear enough to be understood but they often had been taught only one word for each thing. When the english speaker tried to tell them something, the conversation tended to bomb at the first effort with a shrug from the non-native person. The english speaker was unable to re-try their statement waith variations. I was abit of a thesaurus so with a few tries I was usually able to hit the right words to get the point across.
