Major transit hubs rolling out multilingual signageBy Wu Liang-yi / Staff reporterThe Ministry of Transportation and Communications is rolling out multilingual signage across the nation’s transport hubs in three phases to make travel more tourist-friendly, with signs featuring Mandarin, English, Japanese and Korean. A sign in Mandarin, English, Japanese and Korean is pictured at the Taipei Main Station yesterday. On the Kaohsiung MRT, popular transfer stations such as Formosa Boulevard and Kaohsiung Station have Japanese announcements, while other stations continue to use Chinese and English signage, it said. English is already an international language, but with the growing number of South Korean visitors — one of Taiwan’s main sources of international tourists — Korean has been added to multilingual signage at these transport hubs, he said. The transport operators are responsible for updating station signs, while the ministry would monitor and supervise the process, he said.
