    Brussels would need to translate hundreds of thousands of pages of EU law into Basque, Galician and Catalan under a Spanish proposal that will add to the strains on Europe’s stretched translation service.

    I was guessing from the title that instead of wanting to add minor languages in Spain, that they were gonna push for Spanish to be made one of the working languages of the European Commission.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers

    Has about a third as many speakers as English, twice as many as French, four times as many as German. Just that most of those speakers aren’t in Europe.
