Hello, I think I didn't write my question clearly. I am doing English-Arabic CLIR. Just to support the work, I was asked to find out how often Arabic websites are accessed using non-Arabic queries. I found the statistics about number of Arabic websites and other languages and how much they have grown. However, I couldn't find anything that specifies how often Arabic websites are accessed using a query written in a different language and how much this number has grown over the years. That's really what I need. That's the website: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats7.htm Thanks you all for your help.
