palindromes in foreign and other languages, in particular longer ones?

Mut negierend erneuert Reden u.a. Leid. Neben legerem Mut stahl euer
Geist Reize der Natur. Bereuet! Ehe Streit um andere Elegien tobt, siegt
im Nebel Reue. Die liebe, g"uldne, gute Reue tr"ugt belegbar edle Genies
netter. Seid eine Hure, seid nett! Erlesenes ordnete begehrender Rentner
Nepp. Arretierte t"otete Gas, ein Eid nie. Neide nie die Nase! Hohn erhob
seine Gene. Ja, jetzt ehre banale Redner roh! Rette nun mit Geist ihre Reue:
Treuere Tiere retten ohne Lohn edle Helden (u.a. Jandl). Ohne Ruhe g"urt's
nun. Egal! Presseredner, h"ore her: Rede t"onend, l"uge! Reue? Nein! Eherne
Reize bewegen diese Reue. Toren liehen Rat. O Genie, der eigene Geistkram
redete im Eid es um Sold nur vital. Er lieh nur eure Hast. R"ote bei Wein
lieh nur unsere Hass-Ode. Protein lieh Geist im Koma mit edlem Reiz an Reden
regierender Redner. Roh dient im Nebenamt Kram mit Reis samt Reizen Amors
nun eben. Diese N"ote! Tiefe geniert sie. Greuel hat seine Reize: Greuel am
Sarg mit Biertrunk - Nur Pose? Nur Rede? Geist legerer Heere? Dein Leser im
Grab einer Oma neben uns sah nie bei Leid adretter, relativ agiler Ableger
Elan. Aber es nutzt und labt. Manien, Unheil, Sex, es lieh nun ein Amt! Bald
nutzt unsere banale, regelbare Liga vitaler Retter, da die Liebe in Hass nun
eben "Amore" nie barg, mir Esel. Niedere Ehre regelt Siege der "Rune" so.
Prunk nur treibt im Gras mal euer Geziere. Nie stahl euer Geist reine,
gefeite T"one. Seid neben uns! Romane ziert massiert im Markt man eben mit
Neid horrender Rednerei gerne. Der Nazi, er meldet im Amok mit "Siegheil"
nie Torpedos. Sah er es, nur Unheil nie? Wie bet"ort sah er euer Unheil
relativ rund. Los, Muse, die Miete der Marktsiege negiere, dein Ego tarne!
Heil Nero! Teuere, seidne Gewebe zieren Rehe nie. Neuere g"uldne N"ote der
Rehe r"ohrender Esser plagen uns tr"uge Huren hold. Naja! Unedle Helden
holen honettere Reiter. Euer teuerer Hit siegt im Nu netter; horrender Elan
aber hetzte. Ja, jene Genies bohren Hohes an. Ei, Deine, die "nein", die
"nie" sagte, t"otet Reiter, Rappen, Rentner, Redner. Hege betend Rosen! Esel
retten diese Ruhe nie, dies retten seine Gelder! Abgelebt g"urt eure
Tugendl"uge bei Leid. Euer Leben mit Geist bot Neige, Leere. DNA mutiert!
Sehet euere Brut an. Rede ziert sie. Greuel hat stumme Regeln - eben! Die
Laune der treuen Redner: EIGENTUM.

"Able was I ere I saw elba."
Now how about palendromic prime numbers?
It turns out that there are lots of them with an odd number
of digits, but very few with an even number.
The puzzle I now propose is to list all even-length, palendromic
primes (base 10 that is for you picky ones).
Extra credit: prove that your list is complete.

List:
11
That is all. Consider a simple method of determining whether a given
number is divisible by 11. Enumerate the digits, in order, left to right.
Add up all the digits which have been given an even number, then add up all
the digits that have been given an odd number. If these two totals are the
same, or differ by a multiple of 11, the number is divisible by 11, otherwise,
it isn't.
Every even digited, palindromic number will, by this method, be seen
to be a multiple of 11, as the evenly enumerated digits are the same as the
oddly enumerated digits, but in reverse order.
Proof that the above method for proving divisibility works is left to
the reader. (and in the archive, I believe.)
