In Australia, it is certainly easier for Chinese-speaking shops with Chinese signboards and posters, especially for mothers and fathers with limited English proficiency.
Recently, however, the Strathfield district of Sydney's inner west side, where many Chinese live, is considering a new measure to crack down on the use of foreign languages by shops.
This new regulation hopes that all shop signs, posters and menus in the area will be mainly in English.
To put it simply, whether it's Japanese food, Chinese, Korean, or Baxi, all restaurants and menus should be in English; the use of foreign languages should not exceed 30% of the total area of the signboard in order to create clean and tidy streets.
According to the 2016 census, the region has a large immigrant population, with the top three: China, India and South Korea.
Nikki Chen, a local Chinese woman who has been working at Strathfield's brother's grocery store for more than four years, said: "our store signs are bilingual in both Chinese and English, so I don't think we need to make any changes."
Damian Kelly, a spokesman for the new state chamber of commerce, said the chamber was very supportive of the move, as long as it did not overregulate and allow companies to spend too much money.
The move has not yet been finalized.
