" Twitter to launch Korean version before December "
SEOUL: Twitter has decided to launch a Korean-language version before the end of the year, according to a news report on Friday.
Sean Garrett, the company’s vice president of communications, told the Yonhap news agency that Twitter is planning to introduce a Korean language before December. Garrett has been in Japan and South Korea this week.
He said the Korean language is one of the company’s priority languages for introducing a translated version of Twitter.com as the number of Twitter users and traffic from South Korea has continued to grow.
Twitter was initially launched in 2006 as an English-language social networking and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read other user messages called tweets. It later launched translated versions in Spanish, Japanese, German, French, and Italian.
