I'm sure I heard of work on Windows support for Welsh. I know that Israel had (or at least threatened) to boycott Windows due to lack of support for hebrew.

There was an episode of the Simpsons where Lisa protested in favour of Cornish independance but no real support for any Celtic/Gaelic languages in most OSes...

... strange as Oxford offer a degree in Celtic language and culture.

I can't remember how many languages there are in the world. I think there's 240 countries, 4000 languages and 32,000 variations or something - the Celtic languages combined must have at least a million speakers (600,000 people speak Welsh both in Wales and Patagonia,Argentina).

I suppose it's up to the last remaining Amiga users of those languages to be the gospel.

A cross-platform language library would be cool though, like javascript or that plugin dictionary some text editors use.

EDIT:
So when/where are you guys meeting?
