Twitter Launches Center To Crowdsource Translations; Indonesian, Russian And Turkish Versions Are Next

Twitter has steadily been rolling out its platform in new languages over the past few years, including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and most recently Korean. While these translations were accomplished with the help of volunteers, Twitter is officially launching a new "Translation Center" to efficiently crowdsource translations from international Twitter users. According to Twitter, translators will be translating the product itself, not the Tweets. Translators will continue to work on improving the platform's current languages, and will also help Twitter expand into new ones, including Indonesian, Russian and Turkish. And Twitter says that it plans to roll out a version in Portuguese later this year.
