The Wind Cannot Read (1958)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_Cannot_Read

The film takes place in Burma and India during World War II.

A British officer falls in love with his Japanese instructor at a military language school. They start a romance, but she is regarded as the enemy and is not accepted by his countrymen. They marry in secret and plan on spending his two weeks' leave together. When one of the other officers is injured, he is sent into the field as an interrogator.



The woman is a doctor, not a language tutor or translator, but this might hit some similar notes? A Hologram for the King (2016).
