Congrats to the l10n team, I really see this as an amazing sign of localisation ramping up :) Well done to all those localisers, you’re almost there and I’d expect a flood of interest as you get exposure through the beta.

In the world's population (and all the wonderful languages that exist), this addition means that 1.2 billion people who may have or one day might have access to the Web now have a localized browser with Firefox 3. But, not all of those people have access to the Internet. A much smaller subset of those people are actually able to access the Web today. In Gerv's model, he gathered just how many people who speak Hindi, Bengali, and all the other languages actually have access to the Web. When you add those numbers together, you will find that Firefox 3's coverage of those individuals with access to the Internet grew from 88.64% to 93.10%. @ Baka_toroi: You might find this bug interesting to follow: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286940 Looks like we have an active community working hard there. Have you met them? Would you like to help out? Looks like we are making some progress in that bug. @ Rajesh:

Thanks Pike, Mic, Pascal, Wil, Chris, Tim and all the l10n drivers for the help you put for Hindi language. "With the addition of these localizations, Firefox 3’s coverage of the Internet population grew from 88.64% to 93.10%." The above statistics has prolly some problem. I am unable to understand that without language like Hindi (500–680 million) and Benglai (230 million) how earlier stats can be 88.64%?! Please check! Thank you Seth.
