Vietnamese has joined Spanish, Chinese and Filipino as an official language of San Francisco. As a result, the city will be required to provide translated materials and services to Vietnamese residents. The change comes as the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted last week to lower the requirement for determining when a language becomes eligible for translation services. Previously, a language needed to have 10,000 speakers to be translated as an official language.
” With 6,791 limited English proficiency Vietnamese speakers in San Francisco, Vietnamese is the fourth largest language population in the city, according to the San Francisco language diversity data dashboard. As a result, city websites, board and commission meeting materials, and bills from the tax collector and Public Utilities Commission, among other services, will be translated into Vietnamese.
