8 Language and National Broadcast Options
8.1 International NAVTEX Service messages on 518 kHz shall be broadcast only in English.
8.2 There is often a requirement for NAVTEX broadcasts to be made in national languages in addition to English. This shall only be achieved by the provision of a national NAVTEX service. National NAVTEX services use frequencies other than 518 kHz, and languages as decided by the Administrations concerned. These National NAVTEX services may be broadcast on 490 kHz or 4209·5 kHz, or on an alternative nationally assigned frequency.
