> English being the defacto language of the internet

That's quite a statement. There is a huge volume of Spanish content that you'd never realize was there until you typed in a Spanish query into a search engine. The various language webs are for the most part islands. English is a little bit over-represented on the web but this is mostly because of the fact that in the early days the English web moved quite rapid and other countries slowly caught up as they came online.

Over the long haul this will normalize to representation roughly proportional on the world population. For our profession English will always give you a head-start.
