Over 25 million professionals use LinkedIn for exchanging ideas and information around the world representing over 150 industries. The task of collaborating across different countries and with people speaking different languages is always a daunting task. Why? It’s always easier to get your idea through in the native language.
That is the very basic idea followed by LinkedIn and as a result it has launched LinkedIn in Spanish: LinkedIn en español! For its Spanish speaking users (as reported)
With their commitment to providing tools for professional to help them at being more effective in all that they do; the availability of LinkedIn in Spanish turns out to be another way at doing so. Helping its users in a language that is widely spreading and forming into a largest group on the Internet is just simplifying things for those who are more comfortable in their own language. And this could very well be the initiation at introducing support for more languages in the near future.
The language can be selected with a dropdown menu at the top right corner that reads Language (see the image below).
Anyone who asks and answers questions on LinkedIn knows how many users there are from all over the globe. I hope Spanish is just the first language to be added.
This is good news but slow in coming. Better late than never, though, or as the Spanish-speaking users would say, “más vale tarde que nunca”.
