Bad experience with traffic department, and discriminatory policy against APRC holders

I just obtained a Japanese translation of my TW car driving licence from the Banqiao Motor Vehicles Supervision Station.
No problems, here’s how it went:
Went in the first entrance, explained with gestures and Google translate to the woman at the desk by the door what I wanted. She had a brief chat with someone at the service counter who asked me to wait while finding an English speaking person. 2 minutes wait then he arrived and guided me through to another area apparently dealing with licenses. He had a few words to staff there and and gave me a queue ticket. 5 minutes wait and I went to the counter, showed my ARC and licence - that was scanned (barcode) and a double sided paper was printed and then stamped. Paid 100NTD.
I was told to keep it together with the licence when travelling.
Total about 20 minutes.
