The song should be sung in English/American. The translation changes the song and it shouldn't be changed. Yes, America the Beautiful is easier to sing, but that's not the topic right now. If you live in a country that speaks English/American, then that's what you should speak. If I lived in Spain, Italy, or Germany I would be expected to speak what the country speaks. I take care of too many patients that do not speak the language AND have been in the country for a LONG time... there is no excuse for that. I don't know how I would buy groceries, buy anything for that matter if I couldn't communicate with the person selling me the stuff. I'll never understand that.
