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.

    Add Ukrainian language to Twitch, please!
    I've been using Twitch for almost two years, I chose this platform to watch the gameplay for more protection from bot attacks, because on YouTube every Ukrainian-language streamer faces complaints from Russians, for our thoughts about Ukraine, its history and protection of the Ukrainian language. The war with Russia on our territory is not fully understood by most countries, because you do not have a neighbor next door who occupies your territory, gets into your business and wants to rebuild his empire. People, we have confrontation everywhere, in culture, history, politics, economy, I, as a citizen of Ukraine, just want Ukraine not to be compared to Russia, we are kind to other nations and we just want support from you Twitch, even in such a first look small step.
