If it is not possible to assist a Russian-speaking client, simply say that you cannot, rather than assuring them that everything will be exceptional and a translator will accompany them. This way, the client won't travel from afar, wasting money and time. I was assured of full support, but there was no translator on site. No organization whatsoever. As a result, I was left to face the language barrier alone at the most critical moment. Now I feel much worse than I anticipated.
If there is no possibility to assist a Russian-speaking client, you should simply state that we cannot provide the service, instead of assuring them that everything will be top-notch and that a translator will be present! This way, the client will not travel from afar and waste money and time on the journey and preparation.
