This is a really excellent article about world languages. When thinking about your global strategy, this could be a big help with understanding where to translate, or rather, what languages you’d be best to translate to in order to reach the widest audience. I knew English was not the most spoken, but it’s interesting to see it’s the most studied as a second language.
