Visitor languages

See which languages your visitors read, so you know whether a translation or a local page is worth it.

What it does

A Languages card listing your visitors’ preferred languages by name and code (British English en-GB, German de-DE, Brazilian Portuguese pt-BR…), with a one-line summary such as “82% of visitors read English; 6 other languages”. Expand shows the full list, and clicking a language filters the whole dashboard by it.

Why it matters

Country is not language: plenty of people in Germany browse in English, and Spanish speakers are spread over twenty countries. Language tells you who can actually read your pages.

How to use it

1. Find Languages on your dashboard, below Screen sizes.
2. Read each language by name and code, such as British English (en-GB), with the one-line summary of how many visitors read something other than your top language.
3. Click a language to filter the whole dashboard by it. Languages are counted from 31 Oct 2026 onwards.

How it works

• Every browser sends its preferred languages with each request (the Accept-Language header). We keep only the first one, reduced to a language and an optional two-letter region, such as en-GB.
• Nothing is added to the tracking script: it stays 845 bytes.
• It is stored on the same pageview row, so it adds no extra rows.
• Counted from 31 October 2026 onwards; earlier visits show no language.

Privacy

• Collected: The first language tag the browser already sends, e.g. en-GB
• No cookies, and nothing stored on the visitor’s device.
• Reports show totals only: never a visitor list, IP address or single visit.

Limits

• Top 12 on the card; Expand for the full list
• Rows: 0 extra written per pageview (same row)

Plans

Every plan, including Free. quietstats is free during launch: the Free plan covers 1 site and 5,000 pageviews a month, and no card is needed. See pricing.
