Video-sharing site YouTube is one of the hottest online properties out there, with millions of people from all over the world visiting the site on a daily basis. To provide a pleasurable user experience, the Google-owned website allows users to select the language in which they want to view YouTube. YouTube is available in French, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, and other languages.

The development team behind YouTube has recently added a few more languages to the list. YouTube now provides support for 5 new languages. The languages in question are: Greek, Hungarian, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian. In case you do not know how to select one of the language that YouTube provides support for, here is a brief explanation:
- First, scroll down to the bottom of any page on YouTube. Locate the button that says Language and click the language next to it.

- Now select any of the languages presented there.


In related language support news, you should know that Google rolled out a virtual keyboard for Google Search that provides support for some 36 languages - Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Basque, Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Finnish, Galician, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Kazakh, Kirghiz, Macedonian, Malayalam, Mongolian, Persian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Tatar, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Uzbek. Thanks to the virtual keyboard, the user can easily enter a query in his or her native language.

Switching focus back to YouTube, several bits and pieces on the site have updated their looks.
- The search results page’s looks have been refreshed.
- The upload interface looks differently. According to the YouTube team, the interface has been redesigned to “streamline the look and functionality of the upload page.”
- The video player has a new design.
- Two new options have been added to the share options. When you click the “Share” button you’ll see the options to share via Blogger or Google Buzz.
