iGoogle launched in 13 new languages

Jessica Gray, Software Engineer at Google blogged on the Official site about the launch of iGoogle in new language set.

Jessicia commented “Earlier this week, iGoogle launched in 13 new languages, bringing the total number of supported languages to 42 and the total number of country domains supported to over 70.

For those of you who don’t know, iGoogle is a personalized version of the Google homepage that lets you select the content that matters to you most from across the web and arrange it in a way that you find useful and fun.

People rely on iGoogle to save time by putting all the information and services they need in one place. They also use it to discover new content through the iGoogle gadget directory.

With this launch, more than 99% of Internet users can take advantage of these features in their native language, which is really exciting for us. We’re particularly curious to see what iGoogle ends up looking like in these new languages. Because users and developers ultimately decide what iGoogle will look like in each of these new domains, we can’t be sure what will be popular, which is part of the fun.

If you’re a developer who speaks one of the languages below, now is a great opportunity to get your cool gadget idea out to a fresh audience. For more information, visit our Gadget APIs page. Who knows, maybe it’ll be the next ‘Tu Nombre en Japonés.’”

Here’s a list of the new languages available:

* Arabic
* Bulgarian
* Catalan
* Croatian
* Icelandic
* Indonesian
* Latvian
* Lithuanian
* Malay
* Serbian
* Slovak
* Slovenian
* Tagalog
