Nope. If government web sites had that option, then that would be considered discriminatory against the French, Italians, Germans, Polish, Russians, Greek, Swahili-speaking Africans...get the idea? If you're in America, learn the language. Heck, I'd like to see a law that requires everyone holding a drivers license to be able to speak, read, and write English. How can you drive in this country if you can't read the signs and can't communicate with police officers?

As the Mexican public official sites all now have the option to read them in English, as well as German and French.....
The governments should be of the people, for the people and by the people, and that means ALL people. There are many LEGAL immigrants of all nationalities that live in the US and they need to understand these sites.

No. If someone wants to read in Spanish, the can go to Spain, or Mexico. Foreigners need to conform to their new country, or go home. It is not the responsibility of America, or any other country to provide special privledges to new comers.
Do you think Mexico will provide websites, or books to English speaking visitors? No, except for some signs on Avenue Revelution so we can buy their second rate products.

I don't think they should be required to, any more than they should be in Polish near Chicago or in German in German areas or in Korean etc. There are over 200 languages spoken here and they aren't all going to get web sites. I have no problem with it if there are enough people who need it and it doesn't cost much, though. However, that also goes for Polish, Korean, etc.

If hispanic people are 30% of the population, doesnt that make sense? But I guess you dont see this country able to do that even though Canada has English and French. Too many haters on here. I feel bad for you as you only pick on people to lift yourselves up.

No. Although English is not the *official* language of the United States, it is the de facto lingua franca, and should be the official language of the United States.

oftentimes as a results of fact the government would not have, nor would desire to it have, the coolest dates you worked at any given interest. At maximum, they could have the quarter you began and ended the interest. If it have been as much as me, they could have not have been given any concept who I worked for or while.

I would like to see them in as many languages as possible, because there are many foreigners that use the www to study our government, that are in other countries.

Sure thing...and I think the government should be able to monitor all those who access the "foreign language" pages....you never know who is a terrorist or illegal.....
