Why is it written in English if it's in Barcelona?

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 64 points 3 months ago

Probably because English is the international standard and tourists speak it

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 3 months ago

It's speaking to tourists, who generally can't read Catalan

For English speakers?

It's a trade language, if you're talking to tourists it makes sense to use a trade language.

Because they want tourists to understand.

For the audience, dear.
