Best Answer

actually o Canada was translated in to English from french

===============================================================================

While it is accurate to say that the French version of O Canada preceded the English version, it is not accurate to refer to the English version as a "translation."

The two versions of O Canada have two very different meanings.

Take a guess. Correct, it was, shockingly enough, the FRENCH! France was the first nation to settle what is now Canada. Fun fact: They called it 'Canada', after a native word, 'kanata', meaning 'village'. The British acquired Canada in the 7 Years War (Or, as we often call it, the 'French and Indian War') and introduced English, but many people in Quebec, where the original french colony was located, still speak the old language.
