What are the most spoken languages in EE?

Obviously English is the most common language used throughout EE, but what are the others?

If I had to guess I would say the other most used are Spanish and Dutch (mainly Dutch).

The reason I am asking is because the worlds I am using have mechanics that are usually only understood from reading the few signs I have placed. These signs are written in English and it makes me sad when I see users who do not understand English quit my worlds because they can't read the signs.

In response to this, I want to include translated versions of the signs. Since I can't have a sign for every language, I want to know which languages are most worth it to translate to.

So basically, what languages do you speak? What languages have you seen other people speaking? and how frequently do you see this happening?

All help with this is appreciated.

There are a lot of people that have to talk English because their language is not supported

You don't have to translate to Dutch, we speak it because it's easier, but almost everyone on EE who speaks Dutch understands English very well.
I think this counts for almost every language, most Spanish people also understand English well.

Ofcourse a lot of people on EE have some struggles understanding English, so using easy sentences would help a lot more than translating, because then you help everyone with English as 2nd language instead of just some people.

I do agree that essentially every Dutch speaker I have met also speaks English, but I still want to translate for some of the people who speak barely any English, even if this only helps 1 or 2 people. Also, the problem with the easy words is that I do not know what is considered easy to other languages. The words I tend to use in game I would consider quite simple but I do not know what words are considered as such to other languages as they may not have been taught the words.

Re: What are the most spoken languages in EE?

My younger brother keeps a tab open with google translate, just to be sure if someone says a word he doesn't know.

By the way, I don't really like to speak dutch in a public world. It's pretty weird to other people because they don't know the language, and it kind of spams the chat for them. My friends don't want to speak English because Dutch is easier, while I can just type English easily and I can type it as fast as Dutch.

Let the people read the English signs. If they don't read, they don't improve. What does it matter if these small amount of people don't play your world, just because they can't read English very well.
