61% of our users work in a language we do not support.

We launched in English and assumed our market was English-speaking. Then we looked at browser language settings across 900,000 sessions.

English: 39%
Spanish: 14%
Portuguese: 11%
French: 9%
German: 8%
Hindi: 7%
Other: 12%

61% of sessions came from users whose browser was set to a language we did not offer. They were using the product in English anyway, or leaving. Session length for non-English browser users was 38% shorter than for English users, and signup completion was 22% lower.

We had read the low conversion in those regions as "low interest." It was low comprehension. We localized the top 5 languages over 4 months. Signup completion in those languages rose to within 4 points of English.

Unpopular opinion: "Talk to 50 users before you build" is overrated advice

I'll probably get roasted for this, but hear me out.

The standard advice is "talk to 50 potential customers before you write a line of code." I did that for a project once. I talked to 40 people. I took meticulous notes. I built exactly what they said they wanted.

And you know what happened? They didn't buy it. Not a single one. The same people who said "I would definitely use this" looked at the finished product and said "oh, interesting" and went back to their lives.

I've since realized that people are terrible at predicting their own behavior. They'll tell you what sounds reasonable, what makes them feel smart for saying, or what they think you want to hear. But when it comes time to actually change their habits or pay money, a different person shows up.
