as I already explained in private mail to Ofer, that was a 
misunderstanding. Some time ago (when this discussion started) I 
provided a document with some statistics for help him in his attempt to 
update many languages. That document was made with a simple/stupid bash 
script  that collect all languages, it make some grep and then it write 
as output a ReST file (given to the all-mighty sphinx) . I just forgot 
to specify to ignore the English language in that report. :)

Cheers,
Giacomo
