Like the Russian Interpreter, there are many other languages in the game where you need a translator/interpreter to translate them.

We recommend to take the solo enemies first and once you clear all the individual enemies then take the two guards as you wish. The Target is none other than a Pashto Interpreter(Do not Kill).
