Twitter already stated earlier in the week that it was geting about 50 million tweets being sent out per day. New data released shows that approximately half of those tweets are in non-English language. Approximately 25 milion foreign languge tweets being sent out per day.
A lot of people are using Twitter in languages other than English, and those numbers are expected to grow, as Twitter recently has put out statements seeking help to crowdsource their platform into FIGS.
The number one language aside from English is Japanese, with approximately 14% of all tweets being sent out in Nihongo. Portuguese, Malay and Spanish closely behind.
