Language Barriers

26 November 2023 🇷🇺 Original: русский 1 min read

Often during the implementation of large-scale construction projects, companies face the need to involve contractor organizations that do not always speak the same language as the client's employees.

With the development of modern technologies, it is already becoming possible to use online translators to instantly translate certain words and phrases during interactions with contractors directly during HSE inspections at the work site.

But what should be done when it is not possible to translate information for contractor employees via an online translator? What if a message needs to be conveyed immediately and quickly? What if an online translator cannot quickly translate specific technical requirements?

In this case, there is a collection of short phrases that can be used to briefly communicate a specific action to contractor employees. It has been developed taking into account the most frequent words used when interacting with contractors and can be edited depending on the specifics of the interaction.
