This is an example of communication failure, unless they can use sign language. 

If The seller  has product, one can show that product , can make some sketches of it regarding the benefits , can use body language and signs. Booklets , leaflets , picture message can be used.

 

Personally , I will invest that much of  time searching for potential customer of my own language.

اhe can use selling materials :

1- videos -same customer language

2- catalogs

3- brochures

4- fliers

but it will not be an efficient way to market or sell a product. because the salesman cant give any further information or handle any objections, or detailed an unclear points
