Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a speech input device, a display device, an image forming device, and a control device. The display device displays an image expressed in a preset language for display. The control device functions as a controller that operates in either one of a normal operating mode and an emergency operating mode and recognizes, based on a speech input to the speech input device, a language of the input speech. During operation in the normal operating mode, the controller recognizes a language of the speech input to the speech input device and sets the recognized language as the language for display. During operation in the emergency operating mode, the controller recognizes a language of the speech input to the speech input device and allows the image forming device to form an image representing evacuation information expressed in the recognized language.
