Twitter to Launch Chinese and Hindi Versions

Company now reaching 100 million active users

Twitter has announced that it is adding support to Asian languages versions, including Hindi, Malay, Filipino, and traditional and simplified Chinese.

Twitter has been banned in mainland China since 2009. But The New York Times reports that, despite the ban, Twitter might use the new service to “capture the hearts and minds of Chinese-language users.” It adds that China already has a microblogging service in Sina Weibo, which claimed in March that it had surpassed 100 million users.
