YouTube has announced international versions of its web video service.
The video site, owned by Google, has launched nine versions across Brazil, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the UK.
Each site is translated into local languages and has country-specific video rankings and comments.
"Video is universal and allows people around the world to communicate and exchange ideas," said Chad Hurley, YouTube co- founder.
YouTube has also unveiled content partners around the world, including deals with France 24, Antena 3 in Spain, European football clubs such as AC Milan, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid, as well as organisations such as Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace.
