This would be wayyy too intrusive on government's part. I can see it now - a motel named La Riviera would, by law, have to include a translation, The Riviera. Would this apply to names? Can someone have a bar named Juan's without putting a translation, John's up. And what about Johann's Printing?

The English translation law would be a perfect example of where government doesn't need to be sticking its nose.

This is aimed more at all the arab-owned businesses in the Detroit area. English speaking Americans and hispanics share an alphabet. Not intrusive.
