[OLAC-credits] Number of credit annotations by language

[Kelley McGrath]

I have started doing some more serious analysis of the data and I thought some of you might be interested in this. This chart shows the number of annotations based on the language of the credit (i.e., what you select in the drop down box). All the credits that have nothing but names and maybe some extraneous words are in the "no role specified" category. English is the biggest category since catalogers often provide English language credits for non-English films, plus the 508 and 511 notes are usually in English. And, of course, there are just a lot more English language films and videos in the database. The non-English ones should represent the number of translations that have been done.
