Okay, my guestimates were off. I ran statistics on our downloads in the
last 5 weeks 76% of downloads were of English modules, 17% were of other
Latin script modules, 4% were of original language modules, and 4% were of
modules using other scripts that text-mode unix can handle (Hebrew, Greek,
& Cyrillic), and the remaining 2% were of modules in other scripts
(Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Thai, & Tamil)
Modules in scripts unsupported by the browser can also be transliterated
to Latin pretty easily, but this is probably only useful for Greek &
Hebrew for those users who don't wish to configure text-mode support or
who want to use both simultaneously. It's probably even preferrable in
many cases to transliterate since the average user who clicks on a
Strong's number isn't likely to know Greek or Hebrew.
