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.

    Не нужно, все всё равно с русского или английского сидят. Челы в твич-конторе не способны нормально подстроить UI под другие языки

    Ukrainian langDear Twitch Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to advocate for the addition of Ukrainian language support on the Twitch platform. By including Ukrainian, you will open up new opportunities to expand the gaming community and create a more engaging experience for all parties involved.

    The Ukrainian gaming community is vast and passionate, and embracing our native language would make a significant difference for us. Here are some compelling reasons why adding Ukrainian language support will benefit all stakeholders:

    Increased User Base: Introducing Ukrainian language support will attract a considerable number of Ukrainian gamers to join the Twitch platform. This would undoubtedly contribute to the platform's growth, making it more diverse and vibrant.

    Engagement Boost for Streamers: For Ukrainian streamers, having the option to communicate with their audience in their native language will enhance the overall experience. This increased connection will lead to more active views, higher subscriptions, and a surge in loyal followers.

    Enriched Viewing Experience: Ukrainian viewers will be more inclined to join Twitch regularly if they can enjoy game streams and content in their mother tongue. This will create a deeper emotional connection with the platform, leading to increased viewership and interaction.

    Promotion of Cultural Diversity: Embracing Ukrainian language support showcases Twitch's commitment to promoting cultural diversity and inclusivity. This will not only be appreciated by Ukrainian users but will also resonate with global users who value a platform that embraces various languages and cultures.

    Positive Public Relations: Twitch's dedication to accommodating multiple languages, including Ukrainian, will be positively perceived by both the Ukrainian gaming community and the wider public. It reflects Twitch's willingness to listen to its users and respond to their needs.

    In conclusion, I strongly urge you to consider implementing Ukrainian language support on Twitch. By doing so, you will tap into the vast potential of the Ukrainian gaming community, resulting in increased user engagement, a more extensive viewer base, and a positive impact on the overall Twitch ecosystem.

    Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We look forward to seeing Twitch flourish with Ukrainian language support, benefiting all parties involved.

    Sincerely,
    Pavlo.
