Are you the petitioner or beneficiary? Are assets being used to meet the I-864 requirement, that would be the only reason for a bank account being needed.

If you are using assets in the form of a bank account to meet the federal guidelines then the bank account information need to be in English.

Depending on how many transactions you have on your bank account, you can either print out an account statement for say the last six months or get your bank to write a letter in English of the total in your account and about you as a customer, like how long you've been a customer, how long the money have been in the account etc.
