It's been a while since Twitch has become a mass service used here in Catalonia. For years, different users have asked if it would be possible to have the Twitch app available in Catalan, our language.

It's not hard to have the desktop apps (Win, Mac, Linux, Web) and the mobile apps (Android, iOS, Windows Phone...) translated into Catalan. A lot of other services and apps have included Catalan years ago (services and products from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla... already include it).

We understand that Twitch has enough resources to translate their apps and services to Catalan. Why Belgians, Canadians and Swiss can have the apps in two different languages and in Spain there is only one option? Why people in Andorra don't have the option to choose their official language, Catalan?

The last 2 years, broadcasts in the Kazakh (Qazaq/Казахский/Qazaqşa) language are gaining popularity on YouTube.
For example (March 2022):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJx_4kwWNvM - 1600+ live peak viewers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVQBykqCPZg - 2000+ live peak viewers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHtXj6DDlKQ - 800+ live peak viewers

Kazakh is now only available on YouTube, so mostly Influencers choose this platform. Although many of the viewers follow the broadcasts on Twitch, as the many CIS esports competitions are broadcast there. Also, there are Twitch streamers who broadcast in Kazakh in the Russian category

In the filters there is the country of Kazakhstan, but no Kazakh language.

Goal #1 is to add a filter with Kazakh language
Goal #2 is to add Kazakh for viewers in Kazakhstan (default recommendation of Kazakh streams in Kazakhstan)

Alga Qazaqstan!! 🇰🇿

For an audience from Kazakhstan:
Стриминг на казахском языке в последние годы собирает большую аудиторию. На Twitch отсутствует даже фильтр с казахским языком, поэтому многие стримеры или стримят в русскую категори, или идут на другую платформу, где есть выбор казахского языка. В связи с тем, что большая аудитория Казахстана следит за киберспортивными событиями, то обычно это происходит на Twitch, так как там освещаются все крупные СНГ события.
Цели - добавления фильтра с казахским языком, добавление казахского языка на платформу.

Если вы сталкивались с проблемой отсутсвия казахского языка на Twitch, то можете описать её в комментариях, это было бы полезно.

As a Galician streamer I love to watch other galician streamers. But twitch plataform don't allow me to set that my videos are in Galego because I can't specify that I'm streaming in Galego. I must choose: "Others".

This situation creates a problem for at least 3.000.000- 4 million people that speak galician because we have no easy method to find videos/streams in our language.

For that reason, We will really appreciate that twitch adds Galician (Galego) language as an option on Language settings of Live Streams.

NOTE: that we are not asking to translate the whole platform. We only want an easy way for galicians and any other existant language to filter the content and classifty it.

Catalan, which had a similar problem, was included recently

Thanks in advance for your support.

As an Asturian user I love to watch asturian streamers. But Twitch plataform don't allow me to set that my videos are in Asturian because I can't specify that I'm streaming in Asturian I must choose: "Others".

This situation creates a problem for at least 600,000 people that speak Asturian because we have no easy method to find videos/streams in our language.

For that reason, We will really appreciate that twitch adds Asturian (Asturianu) language as an option on Language settings of Live Streams.

NOTE: that we are not asking to translate the whole platform. We only want an easy way for asturians and any other existant language to filter the content and classifty it.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Greetings!

I would like to ask you about adding Belarusian localization and language tag to Twitch.

Why?
Because Belarus-speaking community grows every year, and more and more companies are ready to acknowledge that. Among those companies you can find Google, Apple and more.
Therefore, it would be great if Amazon would join'em in this and add Belarusian language on Twitch. It also will be a great chance to support freedom in our country in nowadays hard situation.
That would be a big win for our society. Żywie Biełaruś!
If you need help in translation- just contact me on tetragon444@gmail.com. I'll be happy to join translators team.
Thank you for your time!

Sincerely yours,
Raman "Tetragon"

Hey everyone!

I'm located in Ukraine and got registered in Twitch some time ago.
Since Twitch does not have Ukrainian localization yet I had to choose English one instead.

Luckily there is a petition to add Ukrainian locale here:
https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/924619-localization/suggestions/43430019-add-ukrainian-localization-please

Nevertheless, when I logged in to my Twitch account today, I got an email notification in Russian, so I had to translate it to understand it well.

I don't know why it happened but I would like to receive notifications either based on my location (Ukraine - in Ukrainian) or based on my profile language (English and when Ukrainian will be added - in Ukrainian).

The Czech Republic and Slovakia have more and more new creators, but not only the small ones but also the big ones who have thousands of people on their live broadcasts and would need faster support in their native language.

Excuse me, but twitch support is often extremely slow and it is unacceptable for streamers of this size to wait for comments for a few days. Therefore, it would be good to introduce Support for CZ / SK as Poland has, for example, but with the difference that a live support chat could only be implemented for twitch partners.

I believe that this step would be the smallest for twitch and at the same time the best and greatest pleasure for the creators not only on the CZ / SK scene and this system could be introduced globally.

With this idea, I would also introduce a new role for twitch "Twitch Support"

Many people who would lead this support certainly watch these streamers often, so it would not be out of place to assign them this role so that the audience can see that there is someone among them and see that Twitch bases itself on the quality and comfort of streamers.

If this idea comes true, I will be very happy to be a part of it and to be able to participate in improving our scene.

Thank you for your time

Around 110 million people speak Farsi worldwide and in Iran alone, there are more than 28 million gamers according to a national survey.

There are many Farsi speaking streamers on the site and I'm sure Twitch knows about the number of people using the website within Iran (even though many use VPNs almost all the time to be able to access many websites next to watching twitch). As many have said before, not having the option for the language of the stream is hurtful for all the viewers of the website. No one uses the "Other" language option to find streams, and the most likely choice is to use English since it's the language they are more likely to understand. This forces streamers to choose the "English" tag in their streams and put "Farsi" in the title so there is a chance for people who speak the language to find the stream. And this is annoying for people who are actually looking for English streams. Everyone loses in this reality.

And that's why we're asking for "Farsi" to be added to the options. Having the website in Farsi is not necessary (although the foundation is already there since Arabic and other right-to-left languages exist on the website), but please do consider adding Farsi. Twitch is a website created for ALL gamers, no matter their nationality, race, ***, gender, orientation or beliefs, and we Farsi speakers would like to be included as well! :D
