If you're an engineering professor in Maine, nobody will care whether or not you speak Spanish. But if you run a dry-cleaning business in Phoenix, AZ, then that's a different matter. | |

Your employer may have very specific guidelines for your business cards and if your employer is large enough, they may already have an existing template for dealing with this very specific issue. Also, check your online directory listing, you may want to put something about that in there as well. | |
| Feb 15, 2017 at 22:48 | comment | added | BrianH | Yes, something to the effect of "se habla español" is common, as is a Spanish-only reverse, or single-sided version where everything in English is repeated in Spanish. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be about academia, and is otherwise off-topic here if it is not clear how this situation is specific this particular environment. | |
