Good laugh out that... thanks.
Que La Panocha?
That’s *our* American Bald Eagle surrounded by Spanish...
My contempt for those currently in control of this country only grows.
That is on the Official (Great) Seal. Then, when you cursor over it, it tells you in Spanish that it is the "Great Seal of the Government of the United States.*"

Using my memories of high school spanish, I am sending the website an email...
La lengua en los Estados Unidos es ingles.
What a joke.
Over my dead body.
The reverse of the seal is on our dollar bill. It’s inscribed in Latine, or Latino, and says “New World Order.”
But anyway I wonder if the official website has the Great Seal inscribed in Mandarin, or maybe Polish?
Try this: Go to the English side of the site, see the Great Seal change to English, go back to the Spanish page (hit "Espanol"), watch the Great Seal turn into Spanish.
There’s been a Spanish version for years. The first US government website was when Clinton was president. I’m thinking it was during his second term and the Web was maturing (we used Netscape/a crappy IE) around ‘96 or so that the Spanish version first went up. Bush came in and expanded on a lot of what was on the US website and made an identical version in Spanish. IIRC, that is.

Thanks. Some of us can put down the reading glasses now!
“Bogus website, but, We shall see.”
Well, if it’s bogus, then someone should tell the Department of State that they are telling people who want to learn about the United States to go to a bogus site, and even provide the link for them.

Bottom left hand corner.
I wonder if the seal is in Arabic.
Really, and what source is the website from?
But the "Great Seal" (or as they would say, "El Gran Cello") itself on the US Government website, is rendered into Spanish, and Spanish only (as far as a foreign languages are concerned). It is not rendered into those other languages you listed up.
There is a “contact us” tab to email them! I gave them a piece of my mind!
Jorge Bush is starting to smell like Menudo..
