English is NOT the official language as the U.S. HAS no official language. So the Govt accepts that some languages are very common, even by LEGAL immigrants. To that end they let people use those languages and besides if you make it so others can understand they have no excuse.

Because spanish is the second most used language in our country. A big part of our hispanic population either speaks very little or no english. And while there are many other cultures in our country, the percentage that doesnt speak english is much lower within the other cultures. I think it is great that alot of things are translated and so many services are available for them.
