the US does not have an "official language" and it's part of our proud heritage to be a melting pot of all kinds of nationalities. many languages are and have been spoken by our citizens.
that being said, i do believe that the nat'l anthem shoulnd't be messed around with. translating the song in different languages is one thing, but to change the lyrics, the rhythm and the title is another. imho, it's not our national anthem.
