Hi johnk1,
If you check the Google Zeitgeist (://www.google.com/zeitgeist),
you can see the relative comparison between the languages that users
use to access Google for each month or year.  Currently, Spanish is
the fourth most popular language, behind English, German, and
Japanese.

Where on Google Zeitgeist did you find this?  If you can provide a
direct link that would be great.

Hi johnk1,
This picture (://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist/jan03_lang.gif) is
the most recent trend tracking indicator that Google provides in its
Zeitgeist page.  I assume that the plotted values are percentages,
since the total is constant over time.  As you can see from the
picture, only relative percentages can be surmised, and it's hard to
estimate the exact value of its Spanish traffic.  (I'd put it at about
8%.)  If you think this is an acceptable answer, please let me know
and I can post it as an official answer.

I wish I could say yes to posting this as the official answer but I
won't be able to use it since there are no clearly definiable numbers
(or percentages) I can use.
