Localization: Add Site-Wide Language Setting

Categories

Add Ukrainian language

Ukraine has a ~40M population, of which, according to the last census, 67,5% consider Ukrainian their mother tongue.

Ukraine has a vibrant gaming community. Ukrainian eSports teams (go NaVi!) are some of the most successful and competitive in the world.

Valve added Ukrainian language option to Steam in 2013 and since then the number of Ukrainian Steam players (and Steam games that have a Ukrainian localization) has been steadily increasing. According to SteamSpy, as of June 2016 there were 3.7M Ukrainian players in Steam. (source: http://steamspy.com/country/UA )

Given the above mentioned arguments, we, the Ukrainian gaming community, ask of you Twitch & Amazon to add Ukrainian as one of the official languages in Twitch and allow Ukrainian language to be an official broadcasting language. We are ready to even translate everything ourselves (via Crowdin or other similar system) provided you give us such an option.

With kind regards,
Ukrainian gaming community

Thank you for raising this issue and sharing your feedback. We are in the process of rolling out a Beta version of Ukrainian localization across Twitch. Users who have their mobile devices set to Ukrainian should automatically see Twitch in Ukrainian once our roll out is 100% complete, and web users with their system language set to Ukrainian will also be able to experience our Beta version. We want to make the Twitch service accessible to as many people as possible, and localization is a part of that.

Once the rollout is finished, we will mark this issue as "Completed." Thank you.

    I am ukrainian. Why do you, twitch, recommend me russians on login? I'd like to see ukrainians firstly. Why don't you recommend polish streamers, or slovak, or hungarian?
    Why do you set default languange to russian? Why not english or any other?

    Hey, Twitch!
    Thank you for the "Ukrainian" tag because it was a great help for Ukrainian streamers.
    But now, we need to move further. In Ukraine, there is quite low level of English, so many streamers are forced to use Russian (alas, this is the consequence we've got from occupation so many years). Now, our people are "waking up" and switch to Ukrainian language. Your swift decision would be a great support for them.
    Add Ukrainian localization to the Twitch, please!
    Thank you.
