The YouTube community began life speaking English, but thanks to
the uniquely expressive medium of video, today there is a global
village of content makers and viewers. With a noteworthy number of
YouTube visitors now coming from outside the U.S., it's high
time we go multilingual.
Today at a Google press event in Paris, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen
are announcing the launch of nine new domains in
In response to many requests, each new site is fully translated and
localized for each country including content (Featured Videos,
Director Videos, Promotions), as well as the interfaces, search,
user support, and such community features as video ratings,
sharing, and content flagging. And these new localized versions are
built using Google search technology, so you can quickly find more
of what you want to see. Perhaps best of all, you can continue to
use youtube.com, or move to
one of these localized sites — and switch seamlessly between the
two. Happy creating, viewing and sharing!
Update:
Removed link to user content.
