We're a government agency. We want to post the following statement:

"Notice: You have a right to an interpretor. If you would like to have an interpretor present at your appointment, please tell the receptionist by pointing to this document and informing her as to which language you prefer. Thank you."

We would like this translated into Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi & Russian. Thanks, Gretchen
