The City of Geneva adapts its communication to the diversity of its residents. Through the translation of administrative or promotional documents and thanks to the linguistic richness of its collaborators, it promotes access to its services to people who do not speak French. You will find on this page the list of documents available in English.
In order to prevent language from being a barrier to accessing public services, the City of Geneva develops a communication adapted to non-French speakers and offers them various documents written in several languages.
Consultation sessions in English
Since December 2015, the City’s four information points have benefited from consultation sessions in English. They ensure that people who do not speak French nevertheless have access to a wide range of information, thanks to the collaboration of partner associations which operate these consultation sessions in the information points.
Documents translated in English can be downloaded on this page or are available in paper format at the various Info Points
