Depending on what you're interested in, it might be a sufficiently good
approximation to look at usage by language.

The short case study about BEIC https://doi.org/10.4403/jlis.it-12481
can give some ideas for statistics to track. See also
* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:BEIC (brief overview)
* https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:GLAM/BEIC/2015-07#Sommario
(analysis in Italian)

If you know the totals for the downloads from Commons, and you get some
idea of the distribution by looking at the usage by language or other
sources, that might be enough. There's always a certain level of
uncertainty, so the exact absolute numbers are rarely that telling. BEIC
for example was interested in the (order of magnitude of the) totals and
it was useful to know the approximate share of traffic/interest from
outside Italy (was it 1, 10 or 99 %?) and how much was due to ongoing
"external" interest.

Note that in the mediacounts you can get additional hints by checking
the share of requests coming from typical visits on Wikipedia (default
thumbnail sizes), visits on Commons or downloads (raw files) and hotlinks.
