In its quest to be even more expansive and inclusive, particularly for other cultures and languages, Twitter announced that they are adding support for four more Indic languages in their latest update. This brings supported Indian languages to a total of six, since Hindi and Bengali have been translated already for more than a year. In terms of major languages, Twitter currently supports 27 main ones, but also adds other languages for countries that have multiple, like in the case of India.
So in this latest update for Twitter, both web and with the Android app, it can now support the following Indic languages: Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi and Tamil. Just like the other supported languages, they have been translated through a community of language and translation experts in their Translation Center. This means that more Indians will be able to use the micro-blogging social network to learn about the world, communicate with other Twitter users, and express themselves, all from the comfort of their own native language.
For the Android Twitter app, to be able to use these new languages, simply change the language settings on your mobile device to add the four. For the web version, go to the Settings page and choose the language from the drop down menu on the profile page.
If you feel like you can contribute towards the betterment of the translations, or even to have your own language translated, if isn’t on the list already, you can join Twitter’s translator community.
