In public schools in Fairfax County, just outside of Washington DC, about 50,000 students (about a third) come from homes in which a language other than English is spoken. Over a hundred native languages are spoken. While many parents also speak English, the languages for which translation services are routinely provided are Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Kurdish, Spanish, Urdu, and Vietnamese.

For "auditorium" events like community meetings and back-to-school nights up to 100 attendees using headphones can hear interpretations in up to six languages, plus sign language and cued speech for the deaf.

Holy cats! That's nuts. I can understand the sign language maybe, but the rest? Egads.

YIKES........

Here in Accomac County I am only aware of there being Spanish translation available in the schools.
