I would like to enjoy Spanish tv shows but I do not speak nor understand Spanish. I t seems unfair to me that there is not a way to translate theses shows into English. by hitting the SAP feature on my TV Why can't TV manufacturers fix this?

SAP simply means Second Audio Programing. This deficiency is actually by the broadcaster of the program, i.e. NBC, CBS, Telemundo, etc.
I don't know the full requirements by the FCC, but barring any legal requirement the SAP could be for any additional audio source they wanted, including Spanish to English audio.

TVs don't translate anything!
The SAP audio is transmitted with the broadcasted video.
If the network does not put that audio channel there, the TV can't do anything about it.
