Just some clarification on what Belgium's multi-linguality means exactly: Flanders is Dutch-speaking. Wallonia is primarily French-speaking, except for a small part of it which is German-speaking ( The Brussels Capital Region is officially bi-lingual Dutch/French, but in practice it's almost completely French. In restaurants, shops, ... you can be sure to find people who can help you in French, but almost never in Dutch. Police, hospitals, ... are supposed to be bi-lingual, but good luck getting good help if you speak Dutch but not French. In most places, you'll only encounter one language: your own native language. Only Brussels is supposed to be bi-lingual. Many cities do have two or three names, but that's not because those two or three languages are actually spoken in that city.
