Vine, the app that allows users to shoot and share short six-second videos with their followers, has expanded into 19 new languages.
Vine posted the news on its blog Thursday, and says the language options are currently available for both iOS and Android users.

The new languages include: Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Thai and Turkish. The app's Android users can also use the app in Filipino and Polish.
The update is an outgrowth of Vine's commitment to international expansion. It's not uncommon for U.S.-based social networks to find success overseas when it comes to adding users. For example, Twitter, the company that owns Vine, claims that 78% of its users are international.
Vine has not identified what percentage of its user base lies outside the United States, and a request for comment was not immediately returned.
According to the blog post, Vine is also "beginning to explore ways to surface Vine videos that are popular in a particular country," a move to better localize the app's content.
