About Washington D.C.
Washington D.C., or referred to as D.C., is the capital of the United States and the center for domestic and foreign politics. The entire metro area consists of the District of Columbia itself, Maryland and Virginia. The total population of the D.C. metro area is approximately 5 million making it one of the top 10 largest in the country. D.C. is the home to many important government agencies and organizations both domestic and international. As a major host of foreign embassies along with many world organizations, D.C. is a center point for world policy and relations. D.C. is the home of many world monetary organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Organization of American States.
While the population of the actual District is relatively small, millions of people visit the city to work or to see the various tourist attractions. Given that D.C. is at the center of the world political stage coupled with strong tourism from around the world, having materials in multiple languages is extremely important. Spanish is the second most important language in the area; however, given the diverse population in the entire metro area, companies and organizations should consider translating documents into many languages to address the influx of people from around the world.
