Question: What is the primary language of my users?
At first, I created a pie chart using various data, but I found that many of the metrics, like screen dimensions, were not very meaningful for me. To illustrate this, I begin with a pie chart showing the distribution of screen sizes:
Then I thought about what website owners and developers are usually most curious about: their audience. Language is an important part of the user profile. It reflects the audience's background. I initially plotted a pie chart of user languages:
However, pie charts become messy when there are more than four categories, and there are hundreds of possible languages in the world. A pie chart is useful for presentations, but not always the best for analysis. Therefore, I switched to a bar chart, which allows clearer comparisons:
The limitation here is that our dataset currently only shows “English.” Still, this reveals an opportunity: many users can read English but are not native speakers. This suggests that building multiple localized versions of the website could encourage users to select their native language. Finally, the tables below provide both a summary count of each language and the most recent 50 user records, including their ID, session ID, language, and timestamp:
| Language | Times that User Entered |
|---|
| ID | Session ID | Language | Timestamp |
|---|
For businesses or job platforms, this analysis is highly valuable. By knowing which languages dominate, companies can focus their marketing and resources, reducing costs and improving results. For developers, language data guides which features or localized products to build. For site owners, it clarifies where their audience is located. For users, it improves experience and trust by giving them content in their native language.
