In many urban areas, street signs are in Spanish and English; many department and retail stores now have Spanish/English signs throughout their stores.

Over the last several years, Kenwood has printed Spanish and English versions of their operating manuals. The Puerto Rico Amateur Radio League has been using Spanish language question pools, which they developed, for the last several years with great success.
