Hi Superdadsuper - great that you're interested in our non-English/non-US setup! Wikia Germany is of course existing and doing quite well :-)

I built up our office in Cologne in 2012 and currently we have a good bunch of people working directly out of Cologne (and some staff members working remotely from Germany). While the biggest part of the Cologne crew is focussed on working on the Community side, we currently have people working in Germany from the Community, Marketing, Sales, and Sales Development department. I coordinate the ComDev International staff (including German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian) in multiple locations from out of Cologne. If you want to take a small peak in our office, you can do so here.

The best way to learn about activities of Wikia Germany (or Wikia Japan or other regions) is to follow the staff blog posts on the local Community Centrals, as typically our activities are most interesting for the local user base. But it might also be a good idea to think about an English staff blog post highlighting our International activities.

Besides Wikia Cologne (and our headquarter in SF) we do have several other offices throughout the world. Our second largest office is our Polish office in Poznan, but we also have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Tokyo, and London.

(Regarding Wikia Japan, there was just a great long article about Wikia in the Japanese version of WIRED.)
