The language barrier and getting assistance.

Being new the to instructor community, I have yet to come to a situation with ELL. All of the learners in the facility are all english literate and seem to have little to no problems with the language barrier. that being said when I do run into that situation would it be helpful to myself or the learner to get a translator? When I do give that student additional instruction where do I draw the line so as not to single that learner out and ignore the rest of the class?

I would pull the student aside and offer some of the tutoring we have here and ask them what else is confusint or hard for them.

That's a tricky situation. A translator would help to a point, but would not be able to go with the student once they graduate and get employed. I think a translator would be best suited after class hours to review daily lessons and help prepare for exams.
