Twitter is planning to launch the site into multiple languages. Example : How do you say ” How are you Mr.X ? ” in German, Italian, French, or Spanish ? That’s what twitter is doing now with a small group of people.
Twitter is currently available only in English and Japanese but soon be rolling out support for French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
Twitter says
” We are inviting a small group of people to become volunteer translators at first. As more folks volunteer, the translation suggestions should accumulate faster and we’ll have enough material to respond by making Twitter available not only in English and Japanese but also French, Italian, German, and Spanish. We will distribute the translations to Twitter platform developers making it easier for them to offer multiple language support as well. “
” Later, we hope to offer Twitter in several other languages. No matter how sophisticated technology gets, we’re reminded daily that it’s about people and that’s something we’ve taken to heart regarding translating Twitter. ”

Anonymous – Be clear in what u comment!! Anyway welcome to steal-ideas ;)
seems that twitter is targeting local users…
I just found 9 different microblogging sites through hellotxt but none of them are well established. So Twitter can move into these untapped languages and dominate.
@Rajesh Kanuri – Yeah!! You're right! He wants all the people to use twitter instead of using IM's .. lol ..
