‘Language War’!! President Donald Trump Removes Spanish Language From White House Website, Leaves Only English!!
The White House team of President Donald Trump have removed the Spanish language from the website. Checking for the Spanish content on the website returns an error message to web surfers. Sean Spicer, Trump’s press secretary says they are still working on the website.
Will the Trump presidency make the White House website just for English language speakers?It is not immediately clear, but from the website his White House launched on Friday, January 20, all other languages have been removed.
During the Obama administration, the White House website had content in Spanish and English language.
But under Trump visiting the old White House website address for content ‘en Español’ brings you an error page.
According to Daily Mail, while speaking on the matter, the chairman and CEO of U.S. English, said that the Trump administration shouldn’t give Spanish-speakers any special dispensation.
Mauro Mujica said: “Maybe if they’re going to do it in Spanish, they should also use all 323 languages spoken in the United States, right? Why just one and not the other 322?”
Mujica also said: “While, we have no problem with it, the English-only White House website might only be temporary as the new administration comes up to speed
I would assume they’re deciding in how many languages they want to do it,’ he said, but ‘English is the de-facto official language of this country.’
