The Spanish dialect in Argentina is actually called Castellano. Americans do not speak American, Argentineans do not speak Argentinean.

Americans do speak American. Any introduction to English always lists it as "American English".

They don't speak *standard* Spanish. There are marked lexical, syntactic and grammatical differences which characterize it as more different from standard Spanish than American English from British English. For example, the pronouns and conjugation system are somewhat different. Likewise tenses are somewhat differently expressed. The perfect past is rarely used and instead the simple past is preferred. Whether or not this necessitates separate translations into Rioplatense is debatable, but the comparison between American English and British English is specious and shouldn't be paid attention to.
