This is a good development. Here's the current non-English language distribution for Kindle books, and it shows how lopsided the current Kindle store is:
French: 1293
Spanish: 1282
German: 780
Italian: 142
Portugese: 87
Latin: 26
Dutch: 17
To put things in perspective, FeedBooks has 790 French books. However, as wallcraft said above, this is also about opening up DTP to other countries - which could also mean many more new self-published English books.
