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.

    Greetings!

    In the previous petition a few years ago we asked you to add Ukrainian localization.
    You made the "Ukrainian" tag only, yet we are grateful for this. Viewers found many new streamers for themselves, and streamers get new audiences.
    I would like to ask you about adding Ukrainian localization to Twitch.

    Why?
    Because Ukrainian-speaking community grows every year, and more and more companies are ready to acknowledge that. Among those companies you can find Sony, Netflix, Apple, Steam and more. They either already added Ukrainian language (Steam) or are in process of adding (Sony, Apple, Netflix).
    Therefore, it would be great if Amazon would join'em in this and add Ukrainian language on Twitch.
    That would be a big win for us.

    Thank you for your time!

    Sincerely yours,
    Dmytro aka Tenevyk

    I now that localization of big products requires a lot of effort
    but you can offload it to the Ukranian community

    please, suggest how can we submit translation (csv, i18n files or whatever)
