But here in the US forms have to be in English, Spanish, and Creaol (Hatien.)
Why should I be responsible for those who don't speak/write English?

You do know that in France even most traffic signs have an English version, right? Same with Germany?

That public universities in Europe often have a good chunk of their classes taught in English, right? Erasmus University, for example, teaches a good number of their classes in English.
Hell, in the Netherlands, not only you do not have to speak Dutch to be hired by most Dutch universities, but highly skilled immigrants pay lower taxes than the Dutch.
So this idea that acceptance of other languages is exclusive to the US is false. If anything, it doesn't do anywhere near as much as the other nations do.
