I believe translating into Spanish is welcoming and inclusive. According to these articles, it is one of the most spoken languages in the world. https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/the-10-most-spoken-languages-in-the-world, https://www.visualcapitalist.com/100-most-spoken-languages/.

Translating public art plaques into Spanish? by Beth Tobey (09 Jan 2021 23:42 UTC)

Do any of your cities that have a significant minority of people that speak Spanish have a policy on if/when you translate things into Spanish? If so, can you share?

I’m hoping to translate our public art plaques into Spanish – having both English and Spanish plaques – but there is some disagreement about doing so.

Thanks,

Beth Tobey
