Okay, my guestimates were off.  I ran statistics on our downloads in the
last 5 weeks 76% of downloads were of English modules, 17% were of other
Latin script modules, 4% were of original language modules, and 4% were of
modules using other scripts that text-mode unix can handle (Hebrew, Greek,
&Cyrillic), and the remaining 2% were of modules in other scripts
(Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Thai, &Tamil)


Also, you are totally confused about the "USER". You are caculating those users who DOWNLOAD the modules and will use it OFFLINE since they already down load them. You are not caculate those user who will use it online.

Here are some number of total Internet number

Of course, different language/regions have different % of Christian to use the SWORD project. And it also depend on if you make the software localized to their language or not. If you ship a pure Chinese localized software without shipping a English user interface, I bet you will get < 1% of English user who want to use it. Same thing as your SWORD project? It is amazing you can even got those number who download your non English modules from a pure English web site.
