Twitter Will Soon Be Available in Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and Urdu

Twitter has announced that it has added support for right-to-left languages, and there are quite a few of them, in the Twitter Translation Center, its crowdsourcing tool for translations.

Translations in almost two dozen languages have been created via the Translation Center and Twitter is able to use tens of millions of people a service in their language because of it.

Now, it's adding support for Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and Urdu, meaning that those who know the languages will be able to start translating Twitter into them.

From past experience, it won't be more than a couple of months, sometimes much less, before Twitter is available in those languages.

"As we prepare to add Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and Urdu to Twitter, we’ve developed new ways to ensure that Tweets and hashtags will work properly in right-to-left languages. We’ve also made changes behind the scenes to give right-to-left language speakers a localized user experience," Twitter explained.
