The only 3 languages worth writing documentation in are English Chinese and Japanese as far as I'm concerned. I only include Japanese because I've read some Japanese game console docs and they were done pretty well


I would add Spanish to that list. It's the 2nd most popular native language in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of...


"Spanish" as one single standardized language is being a bit charitable though.


As opposed to English?


English has a pretty heavy thumb on the linguistic unification scales via American and British cultural export weight.

If India and Nigeria kindly did the needful and exported more English-language cultural content, the situation would be more similar to Spanish.
