Which Language Do You Read?


This snapshot was taken from the Himalia's website visitor stats from Europe.

The top-five list is the following:

  1. France
  2. Germany
  3. United Kingdom
  4. Netherlands
  5. Belgium

This is a little strange, if you see the Internet Usage in Europe stats:

  1. Germany   50,471,212
  2. United Kingdom   37,600,000
  3. France   30,837,595
  4. Italy   30,763,940
  5. Russia   23,700,000
  6. Spain   19,765,032
  7. Turkey   16,000,000
  8. Netherlands   12,060,000
  9. Poland   11,400,000
  10. Portugal   7,782,760
  11. Sweden   6,890,000
  12. Ukraine   5,278,100
  13. Belgium   5,100,000

 50. Vatican City State 93

 

So, first conclusion, the Pope is using Internet and as a consequence, the Vatican firewall configuration will be a controversial issue some day ;)

 

And second, you need to spread the word in different languages if you are planning a global strategy. I think this post helped giving french readers to the website and turning France as the second country in the world-wide Himalia's website visitor list, after USA.

 

There are post about Himalia written in French, Spanish, English, and now, there's a post written in Lithuanian, but I don't understand anything about them ;)

 

The point is that there are a lot of people out there that never will know about Himalia just because the read in other languages, and so, we will need help with it :-)
