UK - Less translation, more English

That's what the government says local communities should do.

"The change in approach is to be accompanied by guidance to local authorities that they should only spend money on translating documents into foreign languages where necessary, and put a much greater emphasis on teaching English."


Seems all are not getting the message though.

"The first-ever citizens' day, in Southwark, south London, included opportunities to try out pie and mash and featured banners reading I Love Peckham in 48 languages."


Oops.
