Youtube Goes International



The Google owned Youtube is spreading, to support more languages then english.

Each site will be translated into 9 new language specific sites. It will launch versions across Brazil, Ireland, Italy, France, Japan, Poland Netherlands, Spain and the UK.
More international sites will be available later this year.

"We want to create a youtube experience that is local experience"
Steve Chen, YouTube co-founder

And now, what do we need language specific YouTube sites?

"It's not just about translating, it also about creating content unique to
certain countries."

It will be exiting to see if its a good idea to separate countries, instead of the one english based site. Video descriptions and commenting will of cause be in the specific language.
