hi5 Adds Chinese Language – Want to Reach as Many Internet Users as Possible

Hi5 decided to go for Chinese users by adding simplified and traditional Chinese as hi5′s newest translations. The number of Asian internet users are growing rapidly and they already are spending more online than US users which means that it is pretty logic to try to reach for these users.

“Chinese” is actually a collection of many diverse dialects including Mandarin, Wu, Cantonese, Min, Xiang, Hakka, and others. While Mandarin (the official language of China) is most often written in the simplified Chinese script, we provide the traditional Chinese script as well – to make hi5 readily available for as many Chinese-language Internet users as possible.
