<p>Translators are hoping Geordie Cheryl Cole&#8217;s move to the United States could create a boom in business.</p>
<p>Former English teacher Paul Davy has just bagged a job as a Geordie translator &#8211; after spending years deciphering the regional lingo for his Chilean wife.</p>
<p>His bosses think the X Factor star&#8217;s move stateside could spark a surge in interest in the north east and its history, business and speech.</p>
<p>This would mean more work for Paul, who was taken on after a London-based company launched a nationwide hunt for applicants.</p>
<p>Paul, who grew up in Fenham, Newcastle, but now lives in London with his wife Alejandra, beat 180 hopefuls to land the job.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;When I was first married Alejandra had problems with the way I spoke &#8211; not so much the accent as the colloquial forms and the speed at which north easterners talk.</p>
<p>&#8220;She speaks good English but the Geordie twang was just too much for her. It was even worse when she met my parents. She could not understand a word my dad said and so I had to translate for her.</p>
<p>&#8220;She saw the job advertised and suggested I go for it after all the help I&#8217;d given to her.&#8221;</p>
<p>The former civil servant said he&#8217;d had to learn to talk more slowly when he moved south &#8211; just like Cheryl.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;I think Cheryl&#8217;s accent has changed a lot since she left Newcastle. It&#8217;s become softer; she&#8217;s definitely worked on it. If she breaks the States she&#8217;ll be the most famous Geordie in the world.&#8221;</p>
