(user language log: e.g. Accept-Language parameter)

Yes Stuart, locale data could be a nice source to look at, including the HTTP headers of the Accept-Language to find locale such as " zh-TW,zh;q=0.8,en;q=0.6"

Do you or anyone have suggestions on the external or global datasets that can be used as a proxy for global web user activities based on locale/languages?

I guess the above question is a more general question that I may want to also ask the people in air-l mailing list.

Best,

Web browser language settings are an obvious place to start this. This
will give you an approximation of user's preferred language (more
likely the preferred language of those who configured their software).
See http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-lang-priorities.en.php
for the gory details.

cheers
