1. Heh, I noticed your URL in the market since my name is also S. Mayer

   Congrats, 10k users in 3 weeks is really amazing!
   Coincidentally, I also just released my first Android app (2 weeks ago, 2.5k active installs) and am pretty satisfied so far.
   I see you got a localized info page in the market for many languages; I think this is one of the biggest factors for being successful (apart from having a good app, of course). I only got 2 languages for my info page so far, and the amount of users out of countries in which this languages are spoken makes up more than 50% of my users. Can you confirm this observation?
   Where did you find translators for your app?
   Did you do anything to advertise your app?

2. Hey S. Mayer thank you for your comment!

   My app is installed in all kind of languages, the most of them are English and German but then Dutch even more than English speaking people from the UK.

   You can use the Google Translator which is directly integrated in the Android Publisher Console. The translation isn’t perfect therefore I also copy/pasted the original English description.

   I didn’t advertise my app, it was not necessary because ‘BMI Calculator’ seems to be a very popular search term.

   Good luck with your app and kind regards, Steffen

   Body Mass Index (BMI) is een verhouding van het menselijk lichaamsvet op basis van in individu’s gewicht en lengte. De BMI meet niet het werkelijke percentage lichaamsvet.
   Taille-naar-lengte-verhouding is gedefiniëerd as de taille-omtrek van een persoon, gedeeld door de lengte van die persoon. De TnLR is een maat voor de verdeling van lichaamsvet welke beter is voor gespierde personen.
