English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portugese, Chinese (zh-Hant), Chinese (zh), Polish, Swedish, Danish, Korean, Russain, Norwegian, Finnish, Turkish. It's fun to ponder why they picked that order and why other popular languages didn't make the cut.
Likely their top internationalized user bases.

My smart dishwasher is throwing an IOException!
From http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/sla.html "Monthly Uptime Percentage" means total number of minutes in a calendar month minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered in a calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes in a calendar month. Looks like they forgot to multiply it by 100 (at least in the definition).
99/100 = 0.99 = 99%
Earlier quoted context omitted.
CHANGELOG * V2.0.5 - Dishwasher is now only compatible with Cleanly.io brand detergent * V4.1.2 - Dishwasher now only accepts Cleanly.io branded and DRM'd plates and silverware. * V5.6.2 - Cleanly.io plates and silverware are now single-use only * V6.0.4 - Dishwasher now only works with Cleanly.io Pure Life water. Please contact your local water supplier for pricing and contracting.
Don't forget that Cleanly.io is shutting down, so now your dishwasher won't run at all anymore.
One of the reasons I use FastMail ( https://fastmail.com ) for email and calendar rather than Google is that when outages happen, the explain what is going on ( http://www.fastmailstatus.com ). Outages are inevitable, so having (a) information and (b) the ability to contact a human are valuable features IMO.
Google has explained what is going on: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=issue&sid=2&iid=84...
I was completely unable to access the service. It seems like a 'service outage' to me!
I wonder: What is the average downtime of Google Mail / calendar vs the average large corporation's exchange server? Another thought- when Google calendar / mail goes down - it's likely business users blame Google - not the IT group. When a self-hosted exchange server goes down, IT is probably blamed. Leaving an incentive to move toward cloud providers just to shift the blame.
That basically made their outage an argument to switch to them.

Interesting that the status page marks this as a 'service disruption' versus 'service outage'. The page doesn't have any definitions of these terms anyway, so it's hard to know what the difference is. I was completely unable to access the service. It seems like a 'service outage' to me!
