What do you mean here?

Is that because Chinese is the most widely spoken language of the world? True, but it is not the most widely WRITTEN one.
Also, there are far less Chinese users on Gnutella than what you think. If there's a priority to give, it's to list English first (only because it is the default and guaranteed to contain all resources), and then sort the languages by proximity so that users can find them.

My opinion is that after sorting languages, ideographic-written ones are very easily to see out of the list of other alphabetic scripts, notably if Chinese (simple and traditional) are grouped at end of the list just after Japanese and Korean...

I have just sent a patch to Limewire that orders this list of languages by script proximity, so that all Latin-written ones will be together, followed by other alphabetic scripts, then semitic abjads then indian scripts and finaly far-east asian scripts (and possibly groups them, but if grouping is enabled, I am not sure how to label these groups: with the charset class name, like on the current LimeWire translate page?)


I already have a mapping from all countries or territories to continental regions.

I have another resource in work to create a nearly exhaustive lsit of locales that list all official or regional languages used by all countries or dependant territories of the world... This would allow selecting languages by continental regions and then by country, so that users would be able to select the continental region and country, then only one of the languages spoken in that country or territory.
