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.

    SHAME ON YOU TWITCH FOR IGNORING YOUR FELLOW UKRAINIAN USERS !!!
  • CooLlGhosT commented  ·   ·  Report

    Нове покоління дітей все менше розуміє російську мову, а сервіс twitch пропонує її за замовчуванням. А все тому, що відносить нас до СНД, хоча Україна ніколи не була її повноцінним учасником. Прошу віднестися до цієї проблеми відповідально та з повною серйозністю!

    Твіч є антиукраїнським шовіністичним сервісом, він ціленаправлено ігнорує можливі мільони українськомовних глядачів з подачі своїх інвесторів, твіч є національнонетерпимим сервісом, що ігнорує почуття людей, для твіча головне прибуток, а все інше може обливатись кров'ю, він підтримує геноцид української мови, ігнорує звернення українськомовних користувачів, підтримує знищення української культури та мови. Ми, українці,нас багато, в нас є своя мова і тисячолітня культура, політика твічу є неприйнятна в сьогоденні, важко уявити, що така велика компанія буде ціленаправлено ігнорувати українців, але така реальність. Практика показує, що сервіс ціленаправлено оминає боком українськомовний сегмент і підсовує їй мову сусідньої країни агресора!

    Dear Twitch team,

    The petition (https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/297558-general/suggestions/14745897-add-ukrainian-language) was created 2 years ago.

    And company ignores its consumers, who investing in this service their money. You do not even dare to give an answer and continue to ignore it for a long time. I sent you a lot of letters, and your support did not answer to any of them. I have been waiting for this for a very long time.

    With the introduction of tags, you did not add the tag "Українська" or "Ukrainian". I am very upset, like most of my friends and acquaintances.

    So, the main idea is don't ignore your community.

    Regards,
    Your customer
