    Do they share a common language so they can talk about anything? Or do they need a translator for most stuff?

        Putin obviously knows English and German from his posting in Germany during his KGB days

        Yeah. He was a lieutenant colonel assigned to the East German stasi. Can find archive copies of his stasi identification floating around online.

      I'm guessing they both have just enough English that along with some hand gestures it works out okay

          Putin can probably speak English well enough, there's just little need for him to do so publicly. If his accent isn't perfect it'd get so much scrutiny, so better to just use translators.
