MyHeritage Expands Its Family History Platform to 50 Languages

The addition of Albanian, Basque, Bosnian, Georgian, Icelandic, Irish, Luxembourgish, Maltese and Welsh bolsters MyHeritage’s position as the world’s leading international family history platform

TEL AVIV, Israel and LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MyHeritage, the leading global platform for family history and DNA testing, has expanded its reach by making its website fully available in 50 languages. This expansion marks another milestone in the company’s mission to make family history accessible to people everywhere. With the addition of nine new languages, MyHeritage is enabling millions more people around the world to discover who they are and where they belong, in their native language. This expansion will also facilitate more valuable matches and discoveries to MyHeritage users worldwide as more diverse audiences join and build their family trees on the platform. For example, new users who create family trees in Irish or Welsh will receive matches with family trees of members of the Irish or Welsh diaspora who are using MyHeritage in other countries, and vice versa.

The newly added languages are Albanian, Basque, Bosnian, Georgian, Icelandic, Irish, Luxembourgish, Maltese, and Welsh. Each language launch includes a fully localized experience across the MyHeritage platform, along with a dedicated country-specific top-level domain, such as myheritage.is in Iceland. Additional languages supported by MyHeritage include English and Afrikaans, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

“Everyone, everywhere deserves the opportunity to learn about their roots,” said Gilad Japhet, Founder and CEO of MyHeritage. “By adding more languages, we provide this opportunity to more people, expanding MyHeritage’s global leadership in online family history. Adding the languages is just the first step, and we intend to follow it by adding local historical records and other resources.”

The new languages are available immediately across the MyHeritage website and products. Users can change their preferred language on MyHeritage among the supported languages at any time. The new languages will be added to the MyHeritage mobile app in the near future.
