Earlier this week, iGoogle launched in 13 new languages, bringing
the total number of supported languages to 42 and the total number
of country domains supported to over 70. For those of you who
don't know, href="http://www.google.com/ig?source=igbp" >iGoogle is a
personalized version of the Google homepage that lets you select
the content that matters to you most from across the web and
arrange it in a way that you find useful and fun. People rely on
iGoogle to save time by putting all the information and services
they need in one place. They also use it to discover new content
through the iGoogle
gadget directory.

With this launch, more than 99% of Internet users can take
advantage of these features in their native language, which is
really exciting for us. We're particularly curious to see what
iGoogle ends up looking like in these new languages. For example,
who would have guessed that 'Tu Nombre en Japonés' (Your
name in Japanese) would be among the top 20 gadgets in Chile and
Spain? (Mine is Jえすしか, by the way.) Because users and developers
ultimately decide what iGoogle will look like in each of these new
domains, we can't be sure what will be popular, which is part
of the fun.

If you're a developer who speaks one of the languages below,
now is a great opportunity to get your cool gadget idea out to a
fresh audience. For more information, visit our href="http://www.google.com/apis/gadgets/" >Gadget APIs page.
Who knows, maybe it'll be the next 'Tu Nombre en
Japonés.'
