In preparation for this post, I found out that Virginia indeed has the highest U.S. vanity plate penetration rate with 16.19% in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>In the translator community, there are colleagues who advertise their profession or language on their license plates. I have started to collect photos of such plates, and if you have a personalized plate that fits this collection or know of someone who does, please contact the webmaster so that we can expand this gallery.<\/p>\n<p>Below is the first round of license plates. Note that states may have different rules about selecting numbers and characters. My thanks to the owners who made the photos available.
