Hello everyone,

Ithought some of you would be interested to know the current language statistics of Messenger Plus! so here are they, accompagned with web statistics too. The numbers shown here are precise and come directly from my auto-update statistics which count all my users once a week. On my 5.2 million users, 4.6 million use a version that sends the language info in the stats (3.00 and above) so you can count on the stats to be truthful. I also included the number of people who visit your translated web page (every week).

I prefer Spanish (Spain), it matches with Windows in Spanish better The Latin version wins because it's the default one
