This is why I think everyone needs to learn Esperanto. This way, we have a fall back language when we aren't versed in the local tongue.
No more cultural misunderstandings, nothing "lost in translation". Universal language is the first step toward harmony among all races, nations, and people.
They could release all the books, music, movies, and television in Esperanto, and just have public access and local programming in whatever the local language is, since no one from outside the area (or in many cases, the area itself) gives a crap about it.
