The first First Lady was from England, and only spoke English. Past American Presidents, when traveling abroad, have Interpreters to help with communications. They still will have them. Melania, traveling to Europe with her husband, and understanding the culture, can only be an advantage. IMO.
An enormous advantage. Recall JFK's remark after Mrs. Kennedy had Charles de Gaulle and the rest of France eating out of her hand because she spoke perfect French, "I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it."
