***RFI Response*** "advanced linguistic and cultural knowledge to effectively communicate with diverse customer communities" and "multilingual promotion" do not denote a requirement that the worker be fluent or proficient in any language other than English. Rather, these references describe the employee's responsibility to analyze and evaluate international food products � many of which bear foreign-language labeling, packaging, and marketing materials � and to develop English-language promotional strategies that accurately convey product attributes to American consumers from diverse cultural backgrounds. In practice, the employee will utilize widely available linguistic reference tools, such as dictionaries, translation software, and cultural reference guides, to review and interpret foreign- language product descriptions, ingredient lists, and branding materials. The employee will then apply this understanding to craft culturally informed, English-language promotional content that identifies proper American alternatives, equivalent product descriptions, and culturally appropriate marketing language for the U.S. market. The position requires cultural awareness and analytical skill in working with international products, not proficiency in any specific foreign language.
