• Language will be a major barrier in case of selecting Spanish, Polish and French people and asking them to translate documents into English since it is not their native language, they will take a long time to do that. • In fact, these people might have to be provided with training so that they can translate English. • Their productivity and outcome will not be as high as an English in this matter. The chances of error can also be high.
