Tasty!  But you omit two subtleties:  "Omnis" qualifies
"Gallia", making it "the whole of Gaul" or less literally
"Greater Gaul" (contrasted with the third group of inhabitants
who are the Gauls proper).

In addition, Caesar's explanation of the third group is meant to
be balanced:  "in their own [ipsorum] language [called] Celts,
in our [language] called Gauls."

I missed this before.  "Institutions" rather than "institutes".
