Senate Votes Twice On English Language

rkzenrage - I completely agree with you. We're already translating too many documents into too many other languages ....

I can't remember exactly what title law it is, but it's one I'm dealing with in the implementation project i'm working on right now - which states - if an IT project gets any federal monies, the top 5 languages (per capita percentage) need to be represented in any out puts from the system. For the project we're currently developing, the top 5 languages are English/Spanish/Mung/Russian/And I believe Chinese. It's different for each state, and it's also different for each place within the state. (depending on the population). Whatever it is, it's a major pain in the arse.

I'll see if I can find the legal references for your reading pleasure.
