TH, you are so right about European countries. Everyone speaks multiple languages. However every country also has their national language. And I know of no country where I have ever head on a phone, press one for X, press two for Y. And everything in a country is printed in only their national language. I am very much in agreement that we need to be more multi lingual in this country. When I speak to college students I always tell them, learn another language or more. Learn Spanish and Mandarin and you can speak to 2/3 of the world.

I hope we become a multi lingual country. I am even OK with Spanish. But keep English as our national language and don't print everything in both. Let it happen as it has in Europe, DON'T legislate it as we are trying to do here and force it on people.
