Koo, an Indian microblogging social media platform that was launched in late 2019, has announced that it is currently looking to expand the social network’s language offerings “in the near future,” according to a recent report from Republic TV, an English-language news outlet based in India.
Koo has quickly positioned itself as a leader in multilingual communications and social media. The platform aims to be emblematic of the linguistic diversity present in India, a nation that boasts 23 official languages and dozens of other regional languages. Currently, Koo allows users to post in eight languages native to the Indian subcontinent in addition to English; users can then sort out which languages they wish to see on their feed. The company hopes to increase the number of native Indian languages to 25 sometime in the near future.
