bilingual signs

Two-tongue public postings

Bilingual signs display text in two languages, typically to serve populations speaking different languages in the same area.

They appear on road signs, public notices, and commercial storefronts: The bilingual signs in Montreal show French above English.

In regions with official language policies, bilingual signage may be legally required or politically contentious.
