Hi Rachel: I just want to add to Harrison's comment. When people want to communicate and they flow with the moment, magic occurs. Just as an example, when I was a child I had the opportunity to share with people from all over the world. My father used to own a hotel in Barbados so we spent lots of time there sharing with tourists. One evening, we were about 20 people from different countries. Venezuela, Italy, Sweden, England, USA, Brazil, sitting in a circle and chatting. After maybe an hour or two we realized we were having fun and speaking with eachother, getting eachother's addresses (no email then)... maybe half of us spoke English. In communication, only 7% is in the words, the rest is in our expression, our body language, our intention... So, you can trust multilingual sessions will be productive. Maybe the reports won't be clear to all, but the conversation will be. and you can always get translators!!!
