Uhh? That's a news for me. I know there is for instance Switzerland
which IIRC has four official languages, but then again I do not think
'most European' have it. I certainly cannot name one for Poland
for instance -- sure, most people doing something with PostgreSQL
will speak English (the lingua franca of computing ;)), but then again
most peolpe would feel aghast if they saw Polish PostgreSQL
information in English. I _think_ this statement is also more or
less true for most of Central Europe. :)
