[Language] Catalan Translation

UPDATE: It's finally here!!! Spotify in Catalan! Thank you all! Meanwhile, I will wait to close the idea until all app versions (including Desktop and Web) are available in Catalan. Thanks!

 

-------------------

 

It's been a while since Spotify has become a mass service used here in Catalonia. For years, different users have asked if it would be possible to have the different Spotify apps available in Catalan, our language.

 

It's not hard to have the desktop apps (Win, Mac, Linux, Web) and the mobile apps (Android, iOS, Windows Phone...) translated into Catalan. A lot of other services and apps have included Catalan years ago (services and products from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla... already include it).

 

We understand that Spotify AB has enough resources to translate their apps and services to Catalan. Why Belgians, Canadians and Swiss can have the apps in two different languages and in Spain there is only one option? Why people in Andorra don't have the option to choose their official language, Catalan?

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.

 

We're happy to announce that Catalan is now available on mobile, desktop and web player! 

 

Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better.

Amb 4 dies hem arribat als 400 vots! Moltes gràcies a tots!

 

Això puja com l'escuma! Mai abans les diferents peticions que hi havia hagut a Spotify per sol·licitar la inclusió del català a la plataforma  no havien superat la cinquantena de vots. Això està sent un èxit!

 

Ara toca seguir difonent la proposta per arribar als 500! Som-hi!

We could say that of the 11 million people who live in the Catalan-speaking regions, , about 10 million use it at least passively, more than 7 million know how to speak it, and at least 5 million use it as their main language of communication. Depending on the figure used, Catalan ranks differently among the European languages. In the worst-case scenario, Catalan has more speakers than Danish, Slovak, Slovenian, Estonian, Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian and Norwegian. According to the most optimistic calculation, it is demographically comparable to Greek, Portuguese and Swedish. (http://www.ub.edu/sl/en/socio/faqupc.htm )

M'ha semblat una idea increïble i que encara ningú havia reparat en ella. Per això, animat per la teva petició, crearé una també per la meva llengua, el gallec.
