Hi,

I already had a coffee with Rony some weeks ago when he made a trip to
Innsbruck where we came to the conclusion that he's proposing the
language addition here and I'll offer the new language on the snippet page.

I'm preparing everything for a new language and maybe tonight I give the
new page design (multiple languages in one snippet approach) a boost.
