Unfortunately, since you truncated the message you've left us all in the 
dark ... could we see source and desired output again?

Ken's variable-based grouping might well be the best way to go about this 
-- it's quite nice with multiple levels.

Also, it's a bit confusing -- you say you'd like to group by language 
first, but then you say you want only the French and German. IIRC, this is 
a hybrid of the two approaches I suggested. Do you want to be able to 
control at runtime which languages you get, or do you want all the 
languages in the document to be broken out?

Cheers,
Wendell
