Matt Mullenweg, who is the co-founder of WordPress and the CEO of Automattic, was interviewed by Josh Janssen, where he stated that in May of this year the non-English downloads of WordPress for the first time exceeded the English downloads.

This trend continues with WordPress 4.0 which makes localized WordPress sites so much easier to install and maintain. WordPress 4.0 now gives you the ability to download WordPress in the language of your choice. This will make the installation process a breeze for non-English speakers. In previous WordPress versions, English was the default and other languages were treated as exceptions. WordPress 4.0 makes all languages equally accessible. This change will surely make WordPress even more popular around the world.
