try Brussels, each sign is bi-lingual, by law
even street names are translated

French and Dutch for everything, it's a Belgian thing

other then that, why would any country invest a lot of money to add english to signs mostly used for locals?? foreigners SHOULD learn the local language , not the other way around... I'm sure it would cause a big riot if your Gobment would make all signs bi-lingual ... English and Spanish...
it's no different in Europe
