The big question is where do you stop? Do you put English, Spanish, Arabic, Pashtu, Erdo, .....

I understand being a world citizen, and I wish Americans spoke more than one language. But the issue is for legal documents. Legally, there is no language of the United States.

Legal documents should be submitted and completed in English. No question. However translations of those documents should be made available but if the documents are obscure or archived the expense of translating should fall on the person requesting the document. However for public information and building with tourist value then there really no reason to not have languages available for many languages.
