    We're showing Mantide at the Dubai Motor Show (www.dubaimotorshow.com) which runs 15-20th of December.

    One of the (many) options that are available as part of exhibiting is a translator. I was wondering if anyone had advice as to whether having one was a good idea? Essential? Total waste of time? I've spent a bunch of time living in various places in Asia, Europe and the US and thus far the only place where I've found translation essential was China, so I'm inclined to guess we don't really need one. But not having been to Dubai before I'm looking for local experience!

    As I understand it we'll be in the "main" hall - so if anyone wants to pop by and see us and the car feel free. It will be me and the designer Jason Castriota.

    Translator will be only useful on the "press day" first day when the sheiks will come. Otherwise you would need a translator for arabic/hindi/urdu/nepalese/malayam/gujarati and pujabi. Useless. Stick to english.
