17 More Languages Added to Blogger

Under your profile picture on the Blogger Dashboard is a drop down menu to select the language of your blog. There have been 17 languages added, for a total of 38. I believe this function will only affect the language in which the blog is written. No plans for translation services that I have found. Too bad. I had tried to add this functionality to my blog via a plugin from a non-Blogger source, and it did not work.

The 38 Languages Supported by Blogger:
  • Bulgarian — Български
  • Catalan — Català
  • Chinese (Simplified)
  • Chinese (Traditional)
  • Croatian — hrvatski
  • Czech — česky
  • Danish — Dansk
  • Dutch — Nederlands
  • English (USA) - English
  • English (UK) — English (UK)
  • Finnish — suomi
  • French — Français
  • German — Deutsch
  • Greek — Ελληνικά
  • Hindi — हिन्दी
  • Hungarian — magyar
  • Indonesian — Bahasa Indonesia
  • Italian — Italiano
  • Japanese —
  • Korean —
  • Latvian — latviešu
  • Lithuanian — lietuvių
  • Norwegian — Norsk
  • Polish — polski
  • Portuguese (Brazil) — Português (Brasil)
  • Portuguese (Portugal) — Português (Portugal)
  • Romanian — Română
  • Russian — Русский
  • Serbian — српски
  • Slovak — slovenčina

To read about BetaBlogger features, read this post.

This is exciting for me because I have been with Blogger for years and the only new thing that has been introduced were the new templates, whose widgets made it the NEW Blogger. I am glad to see that Google/Blogger are trying to improve blogging on this platform with the latest step, Blogger in Draft.

To access the Blogger in Draft, you must sign in to your Blogger account with your gmail address. Then you go to the bottom of the dashboard and click on the linke, Blogger in Draft, and your dashboard will be transformed. If you do not click on draft.blogger.com, you will not be able to use the new features.
