I really don't see how you can have a meaningful conversation about that
by a combination of pointing, diagrams and babelfish.  You need clarity
and precision for that kind of discussion, so you really
need a decent human translator.

Imaging trying to play charades with somebody who doesn't speak your
language.  That's what this will be like.
