The top 10 locales on the website are:

en-US
es-ES
de
fr
ru
pt-BR
pl
ar
vi
tr

I've created webmaster sites for:

en-US (not targeted)
pt-BR (Brazil)
de (Germany)
id (Indonesia)
pl (Poland)
ru (Russia)
fr (France)

That leaves:

ar (Arabic)
vi (Vietnam)
tr (Turkey)

I recommend adding sites for:

vi (Vietnam)
tr (Turkey)

ar is split among many countries according to the stats, but vi and tr are pretty central to their country.

I just added vi and tr.

Is the top-10 plus ID is good for now? That is about 88% of all traffic to the website.

Is 88% coverage good for this bug? I'm fine with it and not adding every single locale. We will get a more complete coverage from the sitemap.xml bug.
