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. Tom Jürgen Schmidt wrote: > Rony G.
