The language choice turns out to be a popular feature of the countdown
clock. I made a short overview of the languages used in May. We can
see that nearly 18.5% of all countdowns were in a language other than
English. With Spanish leading the pack accounting for over 6%,
followed by Dutch which was just short of 3%. Italian, French, Polish
and German were all used more than 1% of the time.

So I guess it's time to brush up on my Spanish:
¡Gracias a todos que han utilizado una cuenta al revés en Castellano!

English 81.57%
Spanish 6.15%
