BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (2/11/13) – The City of Bowling Green’s International Communities Liaison Office has announced that “Language Access Cards” are now available in 13 different languages.
 
Also called “I Speak Card”, these cards are part of an ongoing effort to ensure equal access to the city services by the international community. The cards invite individuals with limited language skills to identify their preferred language and get access to telephone interpreter services at all city departments for no cost.
 
The cards are double-sided with text in English and a translation of one of the thirteen languages. The languages include Arabic, Bosnian, Burmese, French, Hakha, Karen, Karenni, Nepali, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Vietnamese and Zomi. The cards contain important telephone numbers and information that facilitate access to city services.
