One of the challenges of offshore development is that although the offshore developers speak english, they do not pick up on the nuances of the language like a local would, and a large amount of rework is usually required. This is not too much of an issue because it is dirt cheap.
Now I spend my time translating clients' requirements between themselves and developers, if I were to speak to the developers in their own language I think there would be the potential to iron out the challenges that we see currently.
As for staying in this industry, I will only start to worry when americans become renowned for being skilled linguists and the offshorers can cut me out of the process.
