It's like that here in Mexico. There are no bilingual services provided. Even contracts written in English are not valid.

Still it's embarrassing to demand someone to speak your language when you fail to master it yourself, isn't it? (you're vs your-mistake)

Haryana khap blames consumption of chowmein for rapes
A khap panchayat in Haryana's Jind district has blamed consumption of chowmein behind the growing incidents of rapes in the state saying it leads to hormonal imbalance.

"To my understanding, consumption of fast food contributes to such incidents. Chowmein leads to hormonal imbalance evoking an urge to indulge in such acts," said Jitender Chhatar, a resident of Jind's Chhatar village and thua khap panchayat leader.

I sat in on a bid meeting in NYC for a city program that provides hardware to elderly and people who have special needs. It's a 2 way voice system similar to Life Alert, the "I have fallen and I can't get up " people.

Part of the bid proposal is manning a central station for incoming calls w operators that speak 26 languages. There was a questioned asked about a 3rd form of French that may be needed for some African people that may call in, I guess that Haiti and African French dialects can be so different that a special operator may be needed. Some of the other languages that they provide for really blew me away. Some of the cost estimates also were mind blowing. All the instructions for use and testing of the machines are provided in the mother tongue of the user.
