  @globalc @m1m0mtd @benoit @nippon Would be good to compare this figure with accesses to documentation from German-speaking countries or Spanish-speaking countries.
  Italian engineers tend to avoid documentation translated to Italian because, well, it's translated.

  Interesting concept.. I wonder how many Japanese IT businesses really get English adopted widely so they can benefit from English-only workers. I looked at access stats to our documentation the other day, and more than 20% of the accesses are to the Japanese variant, not English. Of course, that's mostly end customers and not support people.. but it shows how much people here demand service in Japanese.

  @globalc @m1m0mtd @benoit @nippon By the way, Mastodon thought that your last tooth was in German.

  @globalc Wait, what do these percentages mean, exactly?
  Are you considering only views from a Spanish-speaking region, or globally?
  Are you looking only at pages that exist in both English and Spanish?
  And are you dividing the hits to pages in Spanish vs hits to English + Spanish, or across all available languages?
  Sorry, I know I'm pedantic 🙂

  Good guess, Spanish was on the 3rd place indeed, with <5%.
