The difference is if Aunty Barbara needs to visit her Spanish GP and she wants to understand what her diagnosis is, she has to pay for an interpreter, same with any hospital visits. If people don't want to learn the language of the country they live in, that's fine by me I don't see why the taxpayer should pick up interpreter costs though.
