Well, assuming this to be true, then why should there be a need for multiple language translations?


There is a time between the period when the legal permanent resident who is not a native English speaker begins living in the that US and the time when they aquire the communication skills to “navigate” the community effectively without breaking laws or getting hurt. They need assistance with learning the language and with translation of material that they do not yet know.
