I'd be fascinated to know why "Crossrail" is spelled in the Latin
alphabet for Chinese, Greek, Gujurati and Urdu readers, but not for
Arabic, Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi and Tamil readers.

I'm thinking of ordering it in Welsh - do you think they will provide
it, as it is one of the UKs official languages? (I think it and English
are the only two)

** Add Scottish Gaelic

On your other point, discussing with someone who works in translation,
this sort of thing would normally have been agreed in advance and
harmonised between all the different translations, but that doesn't
appear to have been the case here....

That may be the neat way but the best way depends on what readers of each
language are accustomed to see for which you might have to check newspapers
and indeed other leaflets.

Greek road vehicle number plates are Latin alphabet (except the Greek army
uses Greek).
