I was just curious to know more about the status of languages; the US only recently introduced official languages if I'm not mistaken. The UK has several now as a result of devolution, and even minority languages translations are provided on official sites..L(l)uis's Spain is another example of variety. Withstanding EU pressure, France is still hesitant and I was considering the trends.
