Will the iphone 5 work with the 4G network in Belgium?

Question

I am very happy with the iPhone 5, love it, but today the Belgian Operator made the 4G network available in some major cities,
but it seems Apple has to "enable" the 4G capabilities for the iPhones in Belgium...
I bought mine directly through the Apple store.  I wonder will it work with the 4G network here ? Anyone using it in 4G mode here in Belgium?
Also if someone at Apple reads this (I hope they do) Siri in Dutch would be super!!! I love Siri but now I have to talk very strange to make
Dutch names understandable for Siri :-)
kind regards to all

"4G" is a marketing term, not a technical term.
The iPhone 5 can operate on any compatible HSPA+ network anywhere in the world. HSPA+ is defined by the ITU as "4G" and is marketed as such by many carriers. The only iPhones I'm aware of that display "4G" in the status bar are those originally intended for AT&T in the U.S.
LTE is also defined as "4G" and is marketed as such by pretty much every carrier that has an LTE network. When connected to an LTE network, "LTE" should appear in the status bar.
The frequencies used for LTE networks vary from region to region across the globe. In order to use an available LTE network, the phone you're using must have been sold to work in your region.
Apple doesn't have to "enable" anything for it to work. All you need is a phone that's compatible with your network, and a plan that allows for LTE data.
If you purchased the phone from another region, the U.S. for example, it will NOT work on the LTE netwok in your part of the world.
