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.
Why is there an American web site in a foreign language ?
That’s not what press acounts say. Clinton started Fistgov.gov in 2000.
