[QUOTE="jrobasdan, post: 1160072, member: 109859"] Besides Canada I’m not aware of any anglophone countries that have specific language requirements, so most commonly I’ve seen menus in French or Italian to sound fancier, in Spanish in the US, or in various languages of ethnic enclaves like Chinese or Serbian etc. To sum it up, I’ve noticed menus partially printed in prestige languages to be understood as flavored English (with varying degrees of success), compulsory French in Canada, Spanish in the US because Mexican Spanish food terminology is widely understood, and minority languages for immigrants in their specific neighborhoods. The Spain equivalent would be 1: Basque/Gallego/Catalan to be understood like Spanish, 2: French/German/Korean/English/etc to be more accessible to foreign business, and 3: whichever minority languages in ethnic enclaves, with anglophone countries in my experience in contrast omitting the second category.
