White House still doesn't have Spanish-language website year into admin
The Hill ^ | February 10, 2018

Posted on 02/11/2018 3:54:18 AM PST by SMGFan

The White House still doesn’t offer a Spanish-language version of its website more than a year after President Trump took office, The Associated Press reports.

The past two administrations offered Spanish content on the official White House website. Then-press secretary Sean Spicer said last year that Trump officials had deleted the Spanish parts of the site but the staffers were “working overtime” to create a new one.

White House director of media affairs Helen Aguirre Ferre said in July that the Spanish site would be launched by the end of 2017, but has now declined to tell the AP if the website is still in the works.

You prioritize. I am okay with prioritizing the way Trump has over getting a Spanish website up and running.

If I moved to Mexico, or anywhere else, I would learn their language. Those who come here legally should learn English - quickly. Those who come here illegally only need a brief Spanish-language White House website: “Adios”.

If Spanish, then what about Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Arabic. Minorities have rights? /s

I am absolutely sure that Mexico has an excellent Spanish-language presidential website. Recommend going there to view it.

OH MY GOD!

You mean the White House STILL hasn’t published a website in a language used exclusively by essentially zero American citizens?!?!

IMPEACHMENT!

Excellent! If someone wants to read about the WH in Spanish, hire a translator. The language here is English; else go back to a country that speaks the language of their choice.

Might as well ask were is the WH page in Russian, Tagalog, Chinese, German and so on.

The Hill needs to immediately translate their web site into every language on the planet.

There is no excuse for their war against diversity. ;-)

“I remember weekend Jan 20 2017 someone on twitter pointing out Spanish version was gone.”

I had a regular full time job supervising 28 people. Believe me, I was busy. The CEO’s leadership team decided on a whim they wanted me to also put together a monthly newsletter. After all, how much time could it possibly take? (I had never seen the guy who said that write so much as a memo.) They had no idea what was involved to incorporate all the elements they wanted. I stood up on my hind legs and said no.

What would it take to maintain a national level Spanish website that wasn’t a joke and constantly being made fun of in the press? A lot. At least one, and possibly more people. Since whoever was probably doing it before would be wholly unacceptable to a conservative, it would take recruitment, vetting and then you have to find somebody with talent and drive who also spoke and wrote Spanish. And, since it would have high visibility, it would need to be signed off on at a high level. I’d rather have Trump and the people around him concentrating on the economy, North Korea, Syria and other national level problems. A Spanish website is so much fluff.

What about the Arabic and Farsi versions?

Good riddance to all but the en-US version.

Let Google translate for the rest!
