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.

    Hello?! When you finally add Ukrainian Language in ur service?!

    Dear twitch team!

    Two years since the voting started and we still did not hear anything from you!? So, why not update you on this issue?

    Ukrainian is not only the mother tongue of more than 67,5% (2001 census) of Ukraine's 42 million (2015 estimated) population - and is becoming more and more popular for the younger generations, your target audience - but it is also the first spoken language of 45 million ukrainians all over the world. Ukrainian is the 27th most widely spoken language of the world. So it outranks the existing options of Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Norwegian, Slovenian, Slovakian and Swedish.

    1,96% of all Steam users are from Ukraine - and the market just started to grow there. Also Steam is available in Ukrainian already, as is facebook, Discord or youtube.

    We hope to hear from you, because our offer is still open - we are ready to translate everything ourselves!

    Sincerely,

    (the growing) Ukrainian gaming community
