You mean, in lines of code? I very much doubt that. A lot of software
gets written, in particular for web servers, that is only German, around
here. Nobody thinks this is wrong, since the audience is expected to
speak German, anyway.

I think all the shell scripts that people write every day account for
more lines of code than operating systems, office software, server
applications, web frameworks combined. And these one-time use pieces
of software are certainly not internationalized - not even in companies
that have a policy that all software must support i18n.

If you want examples, here are some:

http://www.heise.de/ct/foren/ (web forum)
http://arztsuche.spiegel.de/ (medical directory)
http://portal.mytum.de/termine/index_html (university calendar - the
software itself is bilingual; the content is not at all)
etc.

Regards,
Martin
