Localization

How it works:
  • Choose a relevant category for your idea and check to see if any other users have already submitted this suggestion before creating your own
  • Be clear with your suggestion, provide examples and solutions to the problem you are posing. Suggestions without actionable feedback may be closed without comment
  • Upvote existing ideas, as opposed to creating multiple similar requests
  • Be sure to share your suggestion with others to gain more support!
  • Note: Suggestions are not guarantees that we will take action on an idea. We will try our best to communicate why an idea may not work, but may not always be able to share that information.
  • Titles that are unclear or unnecessarily vulgar may be reworded to better reflect the request for ease of discovery


If you need help:
This forum is for ideas only. If you need help, please check out our help portal for tons of articles that may answer your questions. If you still need help, you can reach out to our support team in the help portal as well!

Appeals or commentary on suspension decisions, support requests, suggestions disparaging others, and non-constructive feedback will be closed without comment.

  1. Currently, the only sign language option available is American Sign Language (ASL). This is helpful for ASL users, but it excludes a wide range of global sign language communities.

    Sign languages are not universal. ASL is not the same as:
    ・BSL (British Sign Language)
    ・JSL (Japanese Sign Language)
    ・Auslan (Australian Sign Language)
    ・KSL (Korean Sign Language)
    ・Irish Sign Language, Indian Sign Language, and many others.

    This is not just an accessibility issue—this is a localization issue.
    Sign languages are full languages with their own grammar, idioms, and cultural contexts. They deserve proper localization treatment, just like spoken and written languages…

  3. Hello! There is a little typo in the French "Manage your sub" panel below the livestream. In English, it says "Subscribed to MyFavoriteStreamer for 37 months with a current streak of 37 months" but in French, it says "Abonné(e) à MyFavoriteStreamer pendant 37 mois, dont 37 mois mois d'abonnement consécutifs". The very last "mois" is in duplicate.

    Thanks!

  4. There is an issue with the Japanese translation on change username.

    Current text:
    「次にユーザー名の変更が可能になるのは、XX時間 XX分日後です。」

    This sentence is grammatically incorrect in Japanese. The phrase "XX時間 XX分日後" (literally "XX hour XX minutes days later") does not make sense. It appears to be a mistranslation or formatting issue.

    Suggested correction:
    「次にユーザー名の変更が可能になるのは、XX時間 XX分後です。」

    This translates correctly to: "You will be able to change your username again in XX hour and XX minutes."

  5. The language keeps resetting, even though I set it to English it changes back. Since I can't set my account to a language it changes ever so often. I expect my setting to be honored.

  7. The Umamusume drops cannot be collected unless linked to an account. The link leads to a site that is entirely in Japanese. It's impossible to create any account. I went round and round with support to just get them to change the gd link to an english site, but they refused to be of any help. Eventually I was directed here to drop this suggestion where it will never be seen again.

  8. Fix text "Zbavte se zdarma všech reklam" at "Zbavte se většiny reklam" or "Zbavte se nesponzorských reklam".
    "zdarma" = free - must pay 12$, this not is free
    "všech reklam" = all ads - no remove all ads
    "většiny" = most (Get rid of most ads) or "nesponzorských" = non-sponsored - remove ads only twitch, no sponsor.

  10. Users who rely on right-to-left scripts face serious limitations when trying to present their identity naturally on Twitch. I’d like to propose a few important improvements to support those users more effectively:

    Allow Tatweel (ـ) in Display Names

    This character is part of the writing system used to visually stretch words for style or identity. It’s commonly used in names like "ريـوف" or "زيـاد". This should not be rejected as it’s not abuse or decoration — it’s part of natural word formatting.

    Support vowel markers (Tashkeel) in Display Names

    Some names include vowel signs (like َ ِ ُ ّ )…

  12. I believe that the decision to add Ukrainian localisation would be more than right, as Ukrainian is the eighth most widely spoken language in Europe, and this summer the popular Ukrainian streamer Leb1ga reached a record 34878 views, which is a definite sign of the relevance and usefulness of adding Ukrainian localisation to Twitch. May the Ukrainian Twitch community flourish!

  15. I want to be able to search for streamers based out of their their specific origin country they reside / or at least created their account. This will be an auto-opt out I suggest, and can only be opted in manually if users entered / toggled this on. If possible maybe even allow the user to enter the State/Province and City too.

    I am looking to make more friends in specific areas of the world, at least with the ones who want to encourage this type of networking. Hence the manual opt-in.

  16. Using the current search tools, I often come across a large number of streams containing tags related to, but not directly matching, the ones I use in my search query. I propose implementing an option that allows users to exclude specific tags or topics from search results.

    For example, similar to how Google supports the - operator to exclude terms from search results, Twitch could allow users to enter commands like -tag to ignore all videos with a specific tag.

    This feature would provide users with more control over their viewing experience and make it easier to discover content that…

  17. In the Community Guidelines, there is a section where the Japanese translation appears to be incorrect.

    In the [Attire] section, 'Hips' has been translated into Japanese as "腰(Koshi)".

    "腰(Koshi)" includes the part of 'waist', so the meaning may be different from the original.

    In Japanese, it is difficult to replace it with a single word, so it would be more appropriate to use the loanword “ヒップ(hippu)”.

  19. Hi!

    We still lack an African region server and we have plenty of streamers from here, especially in South Africa. There is an AWS server in Cape Town as far as I know, so it would be really fantastic to be able to stream to high-quality, official, local Twitch servers. Currently we need to use unreliable relays, or strange routing methods to get more than 3000kbps bit rate which means most people here struggle to get up and running easily. Please consider this - show Africa some love! :)

    Thank you,

    Lolcohol

  20. Good day! The CIS needs a Twitch representative, or better yet, more than one, to more quickly resolve issues with streamers and authorities. Should we expect them in the near future? And if so, where can I send my resume?
