You don't need to do all 28 languages, in fact I don't recommend it for big sites.

If you have 10 M pages, just create a Sitemap (for one language) and only translate your targetted best demographic to expand, one at a time, or a few more if you have plenty of resources.

PM if you have questions. I can give you the "scoop" on what happens when you have 1/2 M pages, which is a fraction of your site. Do not enable all 28 flags. It is a waste of resource, bandwidth, CPU, etc. for a large site. Focus on your targetted demographics. Also, if you make money with click-revenue, keep in mind that some countries pay low (because their economy is low, naturally) and some pay larger (because their economy is strong, naturally).

Also, you can easily create an ?hl= segment in Google Analytics and look careful at your analytics. Remember, it is much harder to dump an "unproductive language" (from Google's index) than to manage the process from the beginning.

Plan.

With 10M pages, you know what I mean :-)
