This should be C. From CompTIA Official student guide ebook Lesson 8 Topic A - "When stakeholders span across countries, language can be one of the biggest barriers to effective communication. You must strive to find a common language or provide translators and interpreters who can ensure that the message is sent and received clearly. When language is a potential barrier, you might choose to use written or printed material that can be translated rather than spoken words that can be misinterpreted or misunderstood."

Expanding on this... I think A is just as relevant of an answer. It is also more likely, since the PM will not have to go through the effort and budget difficulties of adding another resource to the project. It asks for most likely, and I believe the path of least resistance is more likely than budgeting a new position. We also have to consider that multiple translators may be required, making that option even less likely.

I agree with B. More tricky worded answers. B & C should both be correct though. Language barriers are likely to influence a Project Manager to take the following actions: --Hire bilingual or multilingual team members: To overcome language barriers, a Project Manager may decide to hire team members who are fluent in the languages spoken by project stakeholders. This can help ensure effective communication between team members and stakeholders and minimize the risk of misunderstandings or miscommunications. --Use translation services: If hiring multilingual team members is not feasible, a Project Manager may choose to use translation services to bridge the language gap. This can include hiring professional translators or using automated translation software.

C. Hire an interpreter to ensure verbal and written communications are accurate is the MOST likely influence of language barriers on a PM. When there are language barriers in a project, hiring an interpreter to ensure accurate verbal and written communication is the most effective way to address the issue. This ensures that all parties involved can understand the information being communicated and that there are no misunderstandings. While learning the unknown language could be beneficial, it is unlikely that a PM would have the time or resources to do so in the context of a project. Similarly, hiring a bilingual project team may not be feasible or practical, and relying solely on print media may not provide sufficient clarity or context for important communications. Therefore, hiring an interpreter is the best solution to ensure effective communication and avoid misunderstandings or conflicts due to language barriers.
