Hehe. Nice for me to forget Dutch! :))) Irish is a bit of a doubtful case. It ís one of the official languages of the EU, but not entirely. When I worked for the Publications Office of the EU, the journal we published every day was in eleven languages; an Irish version existed, but this was nothing but a synopsis.
