BTW, If I may ask, who did the translation for Malta? It was kinda funny how "top" IT companies here didn't notice it until months after it was launched, and there aren't many Maltese speaking people outside of Malta.

Hmm - not a UK-English expression.
Perhaps we desperately need a www.google.us for such 'extrovert' expressions of emotion that are definitely alien to the English Mother Tongue
(which is firmly in the English Mother cheek)....

Hey GoogleGuy please can you tell me when the Czechs will have their own Google site?
Currently we have Serch in Czech however the .cz is taken by a third party. :(
Swiss flag is one of the few national flags that are exclusively made as a square, not rectangle allowed!

I love the way those folks across the pond add all those quaint little local colloquiallisms onto the American language.
Any Slovak speakers here?
Samozrejme!
Your Woohoo! in Slovak is something like "ejchuchú!" or "bisťu!".
and "woohoo" is perfectly understandable in the UK...

Jedno Pivo pro Google a botom jeden Becherovka nebo slilovice - (That would cause google to dance) :)
Czechs already have the language we just don't have a Google domain in Czech :(

We are #1 for our search terms here in czech so google.cz would be nice for more traffic
Wow small world I'm in prague too, been here for a year now great place.
Was in Slovakia skiing last winter also very nice.
Cough, back to the subject---
Wouldbe nice to have Czech Site .cz

With the IPO believed to generate $15-25 bn, I am sure Google will find a solution to this problem pretty soon....
The Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Faroese, Icelandic) are closely enough related to often make it hugely relevant to search in two or more Scandinavian languages at the same time for a search phrase. Is the same true of the Czech and Slovak languages?
And would it be a real help if such combined searches were an option on Google's front page and not always had to be arranged in the preferences?
I'm not sure that I completely understand the point of making a special page for the Hungarian minority in Slovakia. I believe that the diminutive German minority in Denmark and the slightly larger Danish minority in Germany have their needs served well with google.de and google.dk. Can someone explain this to me?

I'd say because google.hu is also still taken by third party...

NFFC deserves a Google paycheck for promoting Google better than Google Guy...
I'm slovak native speaker too. translation is full of grammatical errors.
I didn't notice any grammatical but semantic errors. I don't understand why searching in Directory has been translated as "Hlavné vyhľadávanie" which means "Main search" - that's irrelevant and confusing IMHO. It should be something like "Kategórie" . I can review whole translation if guys from Google were interested.

And yes, slovak translation is really bad.
See song 2 by blur ;)

<added>I have just signed up as a translator. I think it might be a good idea to do so too for those members who have expressed dissatisfaction with the translations in their native languages.</added>
