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.

    My nation today is fighting for freedom of existence and free communication in a war with a terrorist country that wants to wipe us off the face of the earth. Help us in this difficult war by adding our Ukrainian language to your platform, please.

    It's hard to believe that Twitch has been around for so many years, yet they still haven't added Ukrainian language support. All major platforms-YouTube, Steam, Discord, every social network, major messengers -have Ukrainian localization, but here, everything is complicated. The settings are a nightmare to navigate, yet russian is fully supported without hesitation, even despite the war and sanctions. It's absurd that the aggressor state is prioritized while millions of Ukrainian-speaking users are ignored. Twitch being Twitch...
