Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. has pulled down a Spanish version of the state’s official Web site just two weeks after its launch.

A state spokesman say www.espanol.utah.gov will remain down “until the governor’s legal counsel can determine if its translations of basic state information violate a 2000 Utah law that makes English the state’s official language,” writes the Salt Lake Tribune. Try to hit the site and it redirects to its English counterpart.

Within days of the site launch “callers complained to the governor’s office that the site violated Utah’s law making English the state’s official language.”
