About:Zhang Qian

How did Zhang Qian communicate with local people of various countries then?
I'm sure he knew only mandarin or is it something else in ancient China.The
people he met along the silk route surely had their own languages. And unlike
modern times, translators were non existent then, almost.

The record said the emperor sent some translators to go with Zhang Qian.
