Index Translationum

Literary Saloon breaks down the numbers from the Index Translationum, which i was unfamiliar with. Even though i believe the number of books translated into English is shamefully low, i just haven't been able to trust any column that makes that argument using percentages. Literary Saloon seems to be as well, and while they try work through the years the data was gathered, as well as the numbers of speakers of each language in question, they find that there is definitely a problem with the collection of the data from countries like China. It's strange that obvious questions like these cannot receive definitive answers in an age like this.
