Find somebody who speaks his language unless not available then body language could a good solution in such cases. 

I will fine someone who understands the language to speak with the guest, or by using a translator mobile phone to translate the language to my guest.

i would take out my phone and open the translator app. and translate his question/inquiry and act accordingly .
