A total of 231 retail companies were fined for failure to provide fully and accurately translated text in the state language on their merchandise labeling, enclosed instructions, and other goods-related documentation.
About 7% of all infractions that came to the attention of the State Language Center last year - 51 - are lack of state language posted on public signboards, marquees, posters, and printed announcements. This was significantly fewer compared to 2013's total, which was 93.
