One of the biggest problems facing the European Union today is the fact that within its borders, 23 languages are spoken. This means that all the important documents have to be translated by a whole army of translators, which costs the taxpayer more than 1 billion Euros a year - and companies trading within the EU spend millions more. The EU-funded TC-STAR project aims to tackle this issue with technology: a system that eats speech in one language, and outputs that same speech in another.

"Why?"
Because it's not accurate.
"It is a poll so it is wrong?"
Yes. you have 95% + of the population who is not accounted for in your Poll.
"They went out and asked a huge number of people what they speak, and it therefore wrong?"
28,694 citizens out of 497,198,740 is huge ? By what measure ? Bulshit and biased new standards ? You have a more numerous group at a Football event or any other events ...
"Come now!"
