Youtube Gets Multicultural
Youtube crosses the cultural boundaries and will soon come in nine different flavors. With increasing demand for multilingual and multicultural videos Google has announced that Youtube will now have nine new domains in Brazil, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Ireland and the UK. You can read the entire story at the Official Google Blog.
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!
Oh I’m so excited now I can watch people from around the world act stupid… and think of the foreign girls. Thank you Google for being so damn good.
