Video sharing site YouTube has announced fully localized versions of the site are now available in nine countries—Brazil, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom—and says more internationalized versions of the site are on the way.
“We’re extremely excited to be offering YouTube in the languages of so many of our users, since it allows people to express themselves and unite around interesting, relevant videos,” wrote Sakina Arsiwala, YouTube’s International Manager, in the company blog. “We’re looking forward to seeing communities develop between people in their local communities as well as among people around the world. We can’t wait to experience more original content and interesting genres of content in different languages on the site.”
