I really don't have much problem about other peoples translating the national anthem into another language. The problem I have is when the words and thus the meaning is changed. The national anthem is a story about a historical battle which helps define the character of this nation. Further more, whenever a person imigrates into another country, reguardless of where it is, they shoul have the respect for that nation to learn it's language and traditions. My wife is Korean, and when we met she didn't speat any english, but now she is very fluent in it, better, in some cases, than many American college graduates. SHOW THE RESPECT DUE!
