Looks like the same place they did the 777 tests.
Anyone know where this was shot?

I remember hearing that the 777 tests were done at some airport in
Brazil, where the winds are known for giving x-winds like this
consistently, but I honestly don't know about the credibility of that
source or whether there were other tests done elsewhere.

I'm not exactly familiar with icelandic, so I couldn't comment on the
language.

I do not know how Danish could possibly help here, Icelandic is
completely unitelligible to speakers of that language.

The mbl.is sign at the end shows that this was shot at Keflavik
airport, BIKF, in Iceland and in a 35-45 kt crosswind, the ideal
situation for the test in question.
The 777 was crosswind tested at BIKF as well.
And yes, the language in the shot is Icelandic and it was a news story
on the Mbl.is website.
