Know what you're going to say before you go into the meeting. Stick to the script. Avoid wandering off on unrelated tangents. Talk about exactly what you told the interpreter you'd talk about-don't change your mind at the last minute and talk about something else. Pace your delivery.
People often talk more quickly when reading a speech or script.
Use humor cautiously. Remember that humor often doesn't translate across cultures. Avoid jokes that rely on English language wordplay and puns, or on an understanding of current U.S. culture or events. Provide written materials. Support your multilingual efforts with effectively translated brochures, package instructions and other materials.
