AFP: Obama wraps up landmark Middle East, Europe trip
Only 10,000 in Arabic?
The speech had been viewed 550,000 times by late Saturday on the White House YouTube website, and translations of the speech got 10,000 hits for an Arabic version, 25,000 in Punjabi and 45,000 in other languages, officials said.

Looks like it's subtitles, not translations (the Punjabi one is in crappy Urdu script too, and very hard to read). See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaxZPiiKyMw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaxZPiiKyMw
I bet most people watched dubbed versions from Arabiya, Jazeera, etc.
Yes in the Egyptian poll on the speech I recently posted, the vast majority saw the speech on TV. So that's one explanation.
