New Rules Would Require Multi-Lingual Prescription Drug Labels

State officials are considering new rules that would require pharmacists to provide prescription drug labels in languages other than English. New York approved a similar rule last year to make it easier for non-English speakers to understand what they're supposed to take and when. If new regulations go forward, there are a lot of details that need to be worked out, including how many languages would be covered and who would have responsibility for the translation.
