Rob,

    Who do you think should be verifying this?  The voter OR the poll
worker.  If it is the poll worker then displaying this information on the
ballot station is not usefull since the poll worker does not see this.  Also
unless they were the one to program the smart card hwo do they know if the
information is correct.   If it is the voter who is to review this
information do they really know what whether it is correct (ie. do they know
what the name of their precinct is) ?

I would suggest this information is more for the people doing the L&A
testing and election setup and therefor should only be displayed in the
default language.
