Languages a Factor in Google’s Urchin Purchase?

Get the WebProNews Newsletter:

Back in the Spring, Google, which is well known to be very multilingual, bought Urchin as you probably know. Urchin itself is translated into 11 languages.

Nacho Hernandez made a post at Search Engine Roundtable, in which he takes a look at Urchin’s different languages, and considers them to be a factor in why Google chose to buy the company. The languages that Urchin caters to include:

Urchin – English
Urchin en Espaol
Urchin – Franais
Urchin – Italiano
Urchin – Deutsch
Urchin – Nederlands
Urchin – Portugus (Brasil)
Urchin – Japanese
Urchin – Korean
Urchin – Chinese
Urchin – Taiwan

This isn’t nearly the amount of languages that Google itself covers, but it’s a start. I wouldn’t be surprised if now that Google owns Urchin, we start to see more and more languages for it.
