Comment (by dd32):

 While we don't currently have the stats for this, they can be generated.

 Initially I thought that the top 500 plugins in most locales would be
 consistent, it turns out that it's not really the case.
 I did a quick data export/match on the top 500 plugins in a few locales
 and then figured out how many of those plugins were in the top 500 plugins
 for all locales.

 {{{
 Locale  ja      zh_cn   nb_no   de_de
 Match   48%     52%     76%     78%
 }}}

 ie. For Japanese and Chinese, roughly half of their top 500 plugins are
 also in the top 500 for all locales
 For German and Norwegian roughly 75% of their top 500 plugins are also in
 the top 500 for all locales.

 The top 50 plugins are roughly the same (different orders of course), and
 for german/norweigian the top 150 mostly match and then it starts to
 differ.

 We can probably generate a list of the top x plugins for each locale, but
 we'll probably have to clean up our locale data first - We're currently
 tracking 3,500 different locales - most of which appear to be sites
 running incorrect locales, typo's, and plugins injecting bad locale values
