Inside Scoop: Youtube Hindi version to launch on July 30th

According to the latest inside scoop, Youtube India will come up with the Youtube Hindi version on July 30th. This seems to be an important step in the path of Indic language inclusion in Google applications which have been earlier included to Google Mail and Blogger, however no official information is still available about the launch.

If my sources are to be believed, Youtube Hindi is coming really soon, soon as July 30th. Youtube Hindi will have whole Hindi interface which will enable users to write about their videos in Hindi by using Google Transliteration capabilities (as used in Blogger and Gmail) and even comment in Hindi. This is an next important step for popularizing Youtube in India after launching Youtube India specific version on May 7 last year.

Youtube India users have one more thing to smile about after Hindi inclusion, Indian users will now be able to monatise their videos on Youtube. The monatisation process will depend on the number of hits your video will receive.
