Shlama akhi,
it seems i recall somewhere that government or legal public citations were to be presented in the major languages of the region, so all would understand.
although i honestly do not know if this was actually the case -- just going off a memory from somewhere in this noodle of mine. i don't know if there really is verifiable evidence of this taking place, so i could be flat wrong here. anyhow, something to try to check and verify...
Chayim b'Moshiach,
Jeremy
