Youtube goes multilingual

Last week I mentioned the rumor that Youtube might launch foreign versions (Flickr, possibly Youtube go multilingual). This week they did just that, with versions in the UK, Ireland, Brazil, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain. Oddly, there’s no Germany yet.

Eventually, the sites will become more localized via “country-specific video rankings and comments, as well as Video, Channel, Categories and Community sections.”

Here is the US site (www.youtube.com), with some relevant terms: (more), (less), From, Views, Added, Time, [tags, category, ratings]

Here are the new sites and some relevant terms, which are mostly like the UK site:

  • UK (uk.youtube.com): (more), (less), Tags, Added, Category, From, Views, ratings
  • Ireland (ie.youtube.com): (more), (less), Tags, Added, From, Views, ratings
  • Netherlands nl.youtube.com): (meer), (minder), Labels, Toegevoegd, categorie, Van, Aantal keren bekeken, beoordelingen
