As one of the Web's primary multilingual knowledge sources, Wikipedia is readby millions of people across the globe every day. Despite this globalreadership, little is known about why users read Wikipedia's various languageeditions. To bridge this gap, we conduct a comparative study by combining alarge-scale survey of Wikipedia readers across 14 language editions with alog-based analysis of user activity. We proceed in three steps. First, weanalyze the survey results to compare the prevalence of Wikipedia use casesacross languages, discovering commonalities, but also substantial differences,among Wikipedia languages with respect to their usage. Second, we match surveyresponses to the respondents' traces in Wikipedia's server logs to characterizebehavioral patterns associated with specific use cases, finding thatdistinctive patterns consistently mark certain use cases across languageeditions. Third, we show that certain Wikipedia use cases are more common incountries with certain socio-economic characteristics; e.g., in-depth readingof Wikipedia articles is substantially more common in countries with a lowHuman Development Index. These findings advance our understanding of readermotivations and behaviors across Wikipedia languages and have implications forWikipedia editors and developers of Wikipedia and other Web technologies.
