The gf went to her local doctors and they sent a letter through the door today asking for her opinion of her doctor...

"I am writing to ask you to take part in the Scottish GP patient survey, 'GP' is short for 'general practitioner', which is what we call family doctors here in Scotland"

The letter was translated into 21 languages (seriously) for her benefit.

No good, it's not in Navajo.

Edit: I see there's a similar one on the UK .gov parliament site too:

Ministry of Truth, Communication, The Plebs

Languages - English - What do you think you are looking at?

The British Parliament is committed and working hard to provide services and recompense to all members of the Parliamentary body, committees, advisers, agency heads, Senior Civil Servants and senior party officials, regardless of gender, colour, language, religion, ethics, morality, location or existence. It is determined to maintain an appropriately high level of accessibility to data about all people who are resident in Britain to overseas allies, agents or suppliers and encouraging their participation in its dissemination.

Information about you and what we can do to make you engage with the Treasury can be found in buses, trains, out-trays and taxis on a variety of media including CD, USB stick and even securely marked folders of paper, and these can be provided by any member of the British Government, her agencies, suppliers or in bulk by overseas sub-contracted data processing staff for a small consideration on eBay.

The British Parliament website contains information in a range of languages to assist you to pay your tax both for British residents and ex-pats, but not visitors as we're not too bothered about them, and these rules are tightened on a regular basis.

For further information, please contact the Ministry of Truth Openness Honesty and Expenses Shredding's Public Information Service.

Here in Vienna they have a solution - all documents need to be in German to be legal. If you don't speak German, find someone who does. Everything from Gov is in German, no other options (though most people under 30 speak better English than I do).
