Case study: What 5 languages should I use to translate my website?

I have recently been asked by a client about what 5 languages should he use to go international with his website. Well, beside translating in the obvious English language, I did not know which one should he go next.

This case is really simple. The company change their logo. They have all the images on their website watermarked with their old logo and they wanted to re-watermark all the images. They did not stored the original photos on upload but stored just the new watermarked ones.
