Knowledge normally flows from developed firms to under developed firms but the innovative ideas are generated vice versa. as a result both are customers of each other.
Does this flow ( acquisition ) is effected by language gap?
For example, international language of one party and national or sub national language of the other party.
Language is the most important communication tool to acquire a knowledge. So , language gap can be considered as a communication barrier or communication noise that negatively affect information flow between senders (teachers) and receivers (students) at both levels speaking and writing.
I feel that language gap is not problematic as it was earlier. First, we have open world-wide market, and companies can find experts for any language if necessary. At the other hand, English is widely adopted, and most companies use this opportunity - just look at RG and international journal.
If you are fluent in English, there is no barrier to world knowledge. If you are not, you have to stick to the knowledge expressed in the languages you understand.
That's it - Google Translate doesn't help.
Beside "English or not English" I assume it's more a problem of the different kinds of language. Comparing the dictionary of an IT-expert and an end user you will find a lot of differences, even they speak both English.
