Hello Tex Texin, Francois Yergeau, Many thanks for your prompt replies - the http://www.glreach.com/globstats/ is actually identical with the URL I quoted in my email ( URL http://global-reach.biz/globstats/). The other two studies are very interesting if somewhat limited (ie old or only focussing on European languages). The biggest on-line populations after English are now based in Asia etc. If you have any other leads I'd be most grateful. I've also run this question past the people at Google, but no reply so far (:-) I tried specific searches in Google, but I am not sure how relevant the results are (# of pages): AR 142,000 EN 9,200,000 ES 2,010,000 FR 2,540,000 PT 1,090,000 RU 1,800,000 ZH 1,480,000 if I allow any language, return is 364,000,000 to 469,000,000 pages - so the EN figure is much too low - maybe the way languages are detected is incomplete ... (I used the languages we are mainly interested in, but Google can do more) Best wishes, Bernd At 21:07 18/09/2003, Tex Texin wrote: >Not exactly, the same, but look at: > >http://www.glreach.com/globstats/ > > >Francois Yergeau wrote: > > > > Bernd Eggen wrote: > > > Are there studies / data on what proportion of (all) > > > web-documents are > > > available in each language & evolution since the internet > > > began & future projections ? > > > > Some of what you want can be found at: > > http://funredes.org/LC/ (1996-2001) > > http://babel.alis.com/palmares.html (1997) > > > > -- > > Fran輟is Yergeau > >-- >------------------------------------------------------------- >Tex Texin cell: +1 781 789 1898 mailto:Tex@XenCraft.com >Xen Master http://www.i18nGuy.com > >XenCraft http://www.XenCraft.com >Making e-Business Work Around the World >-------------------------------------------------------------
