A sign at the delivery entrance of an Evos fast food chain outlet in city of Bukhara has been removed after public criticism.
The Buxoroisharif.uz Telegram channel reported that objections had been raised because the wording on the sign did not meet current requirements. Appropriate measures were then taken and the sign was taken down.
Under the Advertising Law, advertising in Uzbekistan must be distributed in the officla language. Translations into other languages may also be added.
For outdoor advertising, the translation must be placed below the Uzbek-language text, take up no more than 40% of the total advertising area and use smaller lettering than the state-language text.
Article 20 of the State Language Law also requires that signs, announcements, price lists and other informational display texts be prepared in the state language. Translations into other languages may be added.
