Interesting. There are apparently different guidelines in effect on this. The Retailers Guide and the Administrative rules state that the Commission or Administrator may require the sign to be in a language other than English if the majority of the patrons to the establishment speak a different language. So, I would assume that if you went to a Russian restaurant and the predominance of the patrons were Russian, then they might require it posted in that language.
