Somali-speaking visitors to the Minnesota State Capitol can now pick up a brochure in their language to guide them around the building.
The Minnesota Historical Society has added Somali to a list of about two dozen translations for the brochures, which cover the building's history and uses as the seat of state government.
Brochures are available in languages ranging from Spanish and Russian to Slovak, Thai, Swedish and Turkmen. There are also Braille and large-print versions.
The Capitol will mark its 105th birthday in January.
