Domain Name and Languages by Patchou on 06-23-2005 at 04:45 PM

Hey everyone,

after 4 years of trying to get it, the msgplus.com domain is now mine! Visitors can now access msgplus.net through msgplus.com. Some things still need to be setup properly, however, the new domain name is already functional and will prevent some people to get confused.
Last year, some statistics regarding the translations used by Messenger Plus! were published. Those stats motivated some of you to promote Messenger Plus! in your native country and resulted in a very interesting "battle" between some translations :). Since then, things have changed quite a bit and I thought some of you may enjoy a refresh. Here are the latest statistics of use:

Language Name       Users-n   Users-%
-------------       -------   -------
English              1,306k    21.04%
French               1,250k    20.14%
Spanish (Latin)        686k    11.04%
Portuguese             647k    10.41%
Nederlands             629k    10.12%
Spanish (Spain)        501k     8.07%
Chinese Traditional    180k     2.90%
German                 150k     2.42%
Thai                   139k     2.25%
Turkish                121k     1.95%
Italian                 94k     1.51%
Hungarian               66k     1.06%
Swedish                 63k     1.01%
Finnish                 57k     0.92%
Arabic                  56k     0.90%
Chinese Simplified      49k     0.78%
Danish                  44k     0.71%
Norwegian               39k     0.62%
Japanese                37k     0.60%
Hebrew                  28k     0.45%
Korean                  23k     0.37%
Estonian                18k     0.30%
Catalan                 15k     0.24%
Greek                    7k     0.12%
Kurdish                  1k     0.02%

I'll soon post a new, very exciting news. Remember to check this forum again in a couple of days :).

Great news Patch, the new domain works fine :)

Put both the Spanish translations together and see... :)

RE: Domain Name and Languages by Mike on 06-23-2005 at 05:04 PM

Nice... :)

I cant believe that 7000 people use greek! :shocked:
I didnt though that there would be so many users from Greece! :O

Speaking of statics...
Will you show us the most-used-features statics? :)

RE: Domain Name and Languages by Mnjul on 06-23-2005 at 05:05 PM

I can't believe there's such only little growth decline in ratio in Chinese Traditional :'(

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the exciting news :p

Please don't start speculating about what the news could be. Nobody knows what it is, that's including beta testers, elite members or whatever.... So please don't spam this thread with vague rumours and stuff...

patchou and fraisie are going to get married  :D :rolleyes:


Has their been a increase in the recent number of languages?

* Stigmata wonders why there is a decrease in the number of english users..
RE: Domain Name and Languages by CookieRevised on 06-23-2005 at 08:23 PM

1) There is an overall increase of 1000k (one million) users!
2) More and more people discover that Plus! has different languages and thus start to use those instead of the default English one. (eg: I suspect a lot of French people started to using the French translation instead of the English one for example)

RE: Domain Name and Languages by Stigmata on 06-23-2005 at 08:24 PM

yes i was wondering if we had increased the number of translations since?

anyone know? menthix?

what do you mean by "number of languages"???

this(?):
Messenger Plus! 3.21.104 (the official released one at the time of previous statistics) had:
English, French, Catala, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norsk, Portuguese, Spanish (spain), Spanish (Latino), Swedish, Dutch, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Turkish, Greek

In Messenger Plus! 3.54.132 only Kurdish has been added, no languages were removed.
RE: Domain Name and Languages by Ezra on 06-23-2005 at 08:42 PM

Maybe also take the top statistics domains,
like .fr .de .nl .com.uk .us .eu .es

Just my 2 cents ;)
