If you are reading this post, then you can obviously read English.  But did you know that makes you a minority?  Yes, that's true!  According to the world language stats found on the Internet World Stats website, only 27.6% of all Internet users use English.  That means if your website is only in English, 73% of the world CANNOT read it.  They can't buy your products.  They can't use your service.  They just click over to another site which is in their own language.

As of December 2009, there were 234 million websites and 1.7 BILLION internet users around the world.  But, only 478 million internet users use English.  What about the other 1.3 BiLLION people?  Can they read your website?

Here are the Top 10 languages used on the internet:

1. English - 478 million users
2. Chinese - 384 million users (up from 233 million last year)
3. Spanish - 137 million users
4. Japanese - 96 million users
5. French - 79 million users
6. Portuguese - 73 million users
7. German - 65 million users
8. Arabic - 50 million users
9. Russian - 45 million users
10. Korean - 37 million users

The top 10 languages actually account for 83.3% of all the internet users around the world.  Currently, 25.6% of the people in the world access the internet and that number is rapidly growing.  In the next couple of years, Chinese could be the #1 language on the internet!  Chinese is the most widely used language in the world.

"More Languages Means More Opportunities".  If you offer Spanish or Chinese on your website, you have just doubled or tripled the number of people who can purchase your products and use your services.
