Let's not forget Microsoft and supporting all their products in languages such as Irish and Welsh. P.s Welsh isn't on the map of endangered languages (oops).

About 300,000 people consider themselves to be fluent speakers of Welsh, and it's taught (without option) in Welsh schools, and laws exist to ensure translation of official documents and signs into Welsh and English.

And yet there is no Vietnamese version of Windows (or any other Microsoft major product as far as I can tell.)

Welsh is doing pretty well as a language, compared to other celtic languages in that area.
