When I handled DebConf invoices/receipts/etc in Mexico as SPI Treasurer and in
Spain as an on-site money tracking person, I was ok with Spanish as long as I
was able to understand the necessary parts of the documents.
I don't think the US authorities would care about it being in English, and if
SPI needs to prove what it says, SPI can deal with official translations then,
or they might even accept Spanish-language documents for that. This is
basically the same thing Holger said applies in Germany. (Disclaimer: I haven't
gotten formal legal advice on this particular point, but I don't think it's
required.)
