Audio social media platform Clubhouse has announced that it is launching its "first wave of local language support." The app, which until now only supported English, will now include thirteen native languages, including five from India. The app will now accept French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Malayalam, Portuguese (Brasileiro), Spanish, Tamil, and Telugu. Users will be able to join rooms, receive notifications and directions, read descriptions or community guidelines in those languages. The feature is now only available for Android devices, and iOS devices will probably have access to it soon.
