They don't spend/have much money. We localized our software, german is ok, spanish was a waste of time. Of about 6,500 unit sales so far this year, only a handful are spanish and we've had the spanish version for 3 years.

MySpace is fantastic at segmenting it's users for advertising. So far it hasn't driven it's users away in the process.
