Foreign trade as we already know is the kind of trade involving the transaction of goods and services from one country to another and indeed there are some factors that totally determine how successful a foreign trading or foreign marketing could be. Failure to put this factors into proper consideration as a foreign entrepreneur marketer there is absolutely a possibility that your intention to transact goods and services from either your country to another country will be hindered or obstructed. Communication is absolutely one important key and factor that determines how successful a foreign trading situation would be. Both the buying country or the selling country need to interact and communicate with each other vividly and clearly, thereby understanding what each other needs and on what criterias should the trading activities should be done.

To bypass the problem of communication during foreign trade situations there buying or the selling country would need to employ the service of a language interpreter so that understanding of information and procedures to and fro from either the buying country or from the selling country could be adequately achieved thereby making the foreign trading or marketing practices successful and effective as expected and planned .

For foreign trading and marketing to take place in both countries joining with each other should be able to understand each other clearly in other words they should be able to interact and communicate with each other to and fro so that they both countries can understand on what criteria is the trading or marketing procedures is to be done . Without effective room of communication and interaction between the two countries trying to trade with each other there is absolutely no possibility of them having a successful thread session. In order to make sure that your that communication doesn't be a barrier to you trading to another country . You can employ the service of a business language translator or interpreter so that understanding of what both party he needs could be well understood.

To all the years the lack of communication and understanding has been the problems why many countries do not engage in foreign marketing and trading .

Communication is one of the major barriers to foreign trade and marketing. The lack of communication between countries can create problems for businesses. In some cases, a business may not be aware that there are restrictions on what it can export or import. In other cases, a business may not know how to communicate with its customers in another country. In addition, some countries do not allow certain types of products into their country due to health or safety concerns.

There are several ways that companies can overcome these communication issues:

1. Make sure that employees and managers know all relevant laws and regulations related to international trade and marketing.

2. Have employees speak the same language as their customers so they can easily communicate with them and understand what they want.

3. Give customers information about the product before they make their purchase decision so they have time to consider whether or not it will work for them before purchasing it overseas (if necessary).

Communication has played a huge part in a business without it one might not be able to relate with others, in communication two people are usually income the sender and the receiver if the both do not come together to interact communication won't occur.

So in business too communication is also needed in the case that the buyer and seller need to interact so that the process of buying and selling would be carried out. But we have seen that communication involve different language and it becomes a barrier especially in foreign trade and marketing and this could hinder the process of buying and seller to carry out.

Most people are not able to understand the language of other countries making it hard for them to buy and sell but the good news to that is how vast technology have move the world forward our electronic garget can do more than just answering phone call we could chat with others from others from other countries.
