And I think there are lots of people in more or less comparative situation. How would you assess this type of situation? For example, are you able to trace in which countries which versions are used?

I think it would be better not to analyze the UA string but the accepted language. Users with en-US builds want to have the language of sites mostly in their own language. So this way should give a better result but also need more work to do and a bit of overhead while it needs extra processing of the HTTP header. But it's just an idea...HenrikMon, 21 May 2007 13:08:59 -0000http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/05/18/growth-around-the-world/#comment-1418416Link got broken up in previous posts, I've made my name the link this time.IanMon, 21 May 2007 06:06:30 -0000http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/05/18/growth-around-the-world/#comment-1418415Yup and the localisers still get the disc/disk thing wrong. Disc is used for round things like CDs, Disk for things like hard drives (which may contain a round thing but themselves are not round).<br><br>More info here:<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28spelling%29#Different_spellings_.E2.80.93_different_meanings" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_o...</a>IanMon, 21 May 2007 06:05:15 -0000http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/05/18/growth-around-the-world/#comment-1418412marcoos: they're update stats.<br><br>ian: they're just representative of what people are using. there are 2 main English-language versions of Firefox: US, which is what we build here, and GB, which is localized by our Great Britain community. we can, of course, do other localizations, but it's not clear that there's a huge need.JohnSun, 20 May 2007 10:35:35 -0000http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/05/18/growth-around-the-world/#comment-1418413These figures probably over-represent en-US at the expense of other English versions. Often it is easier to download the US version than it is to download a specific localisation, so there will be lots of Brit using the US version. And are there Australian, Canadian and other English localisations?Ian ThomasSun, 20 May 2007 09:58:12 -0000http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/05/18/growth-around-the-world/#comment-1418417Are these data download stats, update stats, some kind of web usage stats or sth else?marcoosFri, 18 May 2007 14:18:51 -0000
