YouTube will launch nine country specific versions of YouTube today.YouTube local versions will be available for Brazil, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the U.K, complete with relative country specific domains such as youtube.fr and youtube.jp.

The new sites include fully translated site content and will eventually deliver country specific popular content.

The new sites will be provided as an option to all YouTube users, although YouTube will be encouraging local users to switch by offering them direct links to local versions.

This is a great move by YouTube. The one thing they have been missing is some way to condense the content. With so many video being add all the time, it’s not very hard to miss some of the best. With the new local version not only will it make it easier for people from non-English speaking country’s to find their way around but will also present content that has been popular in there local area.

It should also be interesting to see what different videos shows up for each area.
