It's under a new 'dual language' policy, to try and improve equality.
Polish and Portuguese signs may soon be seen on local streets.
Councillors discussed the policy at an environment committee meeting last week.
The plans have already proved to be controversial on social media.
One user commented "Renaming roads in Portuguese with the English name in small font underneath... get a grip!!! Even the Portuguese think it's ridiculous!!!"
Another said "If the Portuguese are against this proposal themselves why pursue it, why waste money and time even discussing it in a meeting? As a Portuguese person even agreed that it's up to them to adapt, not the other way round."
Mid Ulster council put forward the plans to allow for multi-lingual street signs if they are requested by enough residents in the local area.
