Thank you again, it is always useful getting others perspective specially when the mind is clouded by stress and anger

Hi Samberox,
I didn't mean there was any fault on your part, just that if I were in your situation then the least-worst would be to play translator (happy wife happy life, speaking as a female hah).
I would assume assume there must usually be at least one English speaking member of cabin crew (in J), even on a Spain-LatinAmerica route. So I guess you must have been unlucky if there really wasn't, perhaps due to some unanticipated crew swapping. Please have partner send in a complaint.
