One of my favorite things in Converse #XMPP development is seeing the translations coming in. Since we do zero analytics or tracking, I don't have much insight into user adoption. I see translations as somewhat of an indicator.
Recently someone added Mongolian translations and it's currently 15% translated.
Interestingly, Ukrainian and Russian are two of the most active languages, and both have 100% translation coverage.
XMPP/Jabber has a long history of popularity in Russia, and XMPP is a NATO adopted standard for instant messaging communications. Chances are, XMPP is being used on the battlefield. But I tend to believe Converse adoption is civilian, not military.
There's no Farsi (Iranian) translation, and the Hebrew one sits at 52%
