Mic recently shared a few words of congratulations with our localizers and translators around the globe who helped make the Firefox 3 launch a great success. As a follow-up, I wanted to spell out a few numbers associated with the impact and success of these contributions:
- about 73% of downloads since launch have been from users outside the U.S.
- about 55% of downloads since launch have been of non en-US language versions
- (some users outside the U.S. download and use the en-US version, hence the difference between the two percentages)
- of the latter group — more than 11 million downloads in absolute terms — the percentage breakdown is shown in the chart below
Great job!

Hi!
Despite below 1%, any chance to get statistics for ca?
And per country and locale at the same time? That is, for exemple for Spain, which is the percentage for all downloaded locales.
Thanks!
Toni - for ca (Catalan), we’ve seen about 38,000 downloads of Firefox 3 since launch… nearly 0.5%! Getting country and locale at the same time is a bit tricky. We’re working on it and hope to post some data shortly.

Hmm… I see that none of the Indic locales feature in the pie chart as individual entries. Does that have any impact on Mozilla’s interest in Indic ?
So there are about 300.000 users of the Dutch Firefox translation. Good to know! Just wonder how many Dutch users are using the en-US version (I expect it to be higher than the average).
What are the stats for the Greek language (el)?
Thanks!
Simos - for el (Greek), we saw about 60,000 downloads in the week since launch. that equates to just more more than 0.5% in the pie chart above. - Ken
Hi Ken,
Could you pls give me the total downloads for ’si’ locale. It may be less, but I want to know as we released it for the 1st time.
