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.

    Please add Ukrainian localization. Our language is a key point of separation between different nations throughout the world. It is disrespectful to make us share the Twitch community with Russians with whom we have a war right now. This step would attract more Ukrainian users to the community and create better opportunities for your business.
    Українською, будь ласка!

    Twitch is making friendly community for all types of people, even those who has serious mental diseases can use this platform, stream and they can also be related to twitch administration. BUT SOME PEOPLE STILL CAN'T USE THIS PLATFORM USING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE!!! Twitch, please, set your priorities properly. Give to NORMAL people at least a comfortable usage of the platform!!!

    It is very important for Ukrainian community to be distinguished as a separate entity by language specifically, especially in the time of war with Putin's Russia, when language speculation was one of the key factors that enabled annexation of Crimea and aggression on Eastern parts of Ukraine.

    So, #UkrainianTwitch all the way!
