Pinterest Expands Into Scandinavia With More Countries to Come

Pinterest continues to expand overseas, and the company isn't slowing down any time soon.

Pinterest added four new languages Friday as the company expanded into Denmark (Danish), Sweden (Swedish), Norway (Norwegian Bokmål) and Finland (Finnish). The company shared the news in a blog post, confirming that Pinterest will expand into five additional countries before the year ends with another 10 planned for 2014.

Since first expanding overseas in June with the site's French and UK versions, Pinterest has added a total of eight new countries, including its first employees in London, Paris, and Tokyo.

For Friday's Nordic expansion, Pinterest actually enlisted local users to help translate the sites into each new language.

The company does not disclose its total user base, but says that international users have grown by 125% since January. Pinterest hopes that offering new languages will boost that user base even more.
