Just by ourselves, we own 30+ Chinese apps. And the problem with the language selection is that sometimes apps are built for more than one language. One obvious thing is that Taiwan and Hong Kong basically use the same written language. So apps shouldn't be divided into TW or HK. I agree that the charts are definitely incorrect.

Also, 6waves (Hong Kong) has some Chinese apps that have a large number of users too. I thought there were several large Turkish apps?

Two of those apps are only advertising campaigns, and one doesn't exist. I've build one of those three real Finnish applications, and I can promise more Finnish apps to be launched before autumn. However, numbers in this chart are quite interesting, since I've planned doing localization for my apps. Everything for community-based translations is ready, almost only thing needed anymore is to click it on. Too bad FB don't offer it's translation tools for apps and forces us to build our own systems... This chart doesn’t completely speak the truth, since there is really only three Finnish applications.

We noticed Afrikaans has a few apps as well for South Africa. It would be great to see this language filter in place. Interesting! We noticed Afrikaans has a few apps as well for South Africa.
