I had a long discussion with a friend earlier about this thread and he said that it was bound to attract all the usual protaganists who don't want anything positive to happen anywhere and I said that he was wrong, most sane, sensible people would see that we're trying to educate young people about the animals and if they learn a few extra words in another language for fun that can only be a good thing!
I owe him a £1. Turns out he's right again.
Just to clarify for the rest of you who jump onto threads that have even the slightest hint of being multicultural (which this isn't) - the idea wasn't to put the whole sign in any other language or even all the info in all the languages it was just to put the names of the animals in a few different languages. All kids learn french, german and spanish at school and that was where that idea came from.
