The Italian government wants to make using English terms illegal.

Italians who use English and other foreign words in official communications could face fines of up to €100,000 ($108,705) under new legislation introduced by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party. The bill, which has yet to go up for parliamentary debate, requires anyone who holds an office in public administration to have “written and oral knowledge and mastery of the Italian language” and prohibits use of English in official documentation. Foreign entities would have to have Italian language editions of all internal regulations and employment contracts. The first article of the legislation guarantees that even in offices that deal with non Italian-speaking foreigners, Italian must be the primary language used. Article 2 would make Italian mandatory for the promotion and use of public goods and services in the national territory. Not doing so could garner fines between €5,000 ($5,435) and €100,000 ($108,705).
