Another in a series of random reports on Chandler Project metrics.  This 
time: Languages

Similar to my report of screen sizes, here's a quick "top 25 languages 
visiting chandlerproject.org".  The number below are total visits 
measured via Google Analytics for the period Sept 22 - Oct 22.

Conclusions:

French is the top non-English language.  German is next, at 80% the size 
of French.  Then Japanese, at 60% the size of French.

Also for reasons unknown to me, the Germans and Japanese have a "bounce 
rate" about 13% lower than English and French.  Roughly, it means these 
readers are slightly more engaged and don't leave the site as quickly as 
English/French.  (40% bounce via 35% bounce, normalized to 100%).

There's a long-tail of languages here, obviously; a total of 89 listed 
actually.
