In a move that will help micro-blogging service Twitter to have a wider footprint, it will soon be made available in French, Italian, German, and Spanish apart from the current English and Japanese versions.

To help Twitter in rolling out this new feature, Twitter CEO Biz Stone has asked users to become volunteer translators. He says that as more folks volunteer, the translation suggestions should accumulate faster and they'll have enough material to respond by making Twitter available not only in English and Japanese but also in the four other languages.

He added he will distribute the translations to Twitter platform developers, making it easier for them to offer multiple language support as well. Stone said he hopes to offer Twitter in several other languages too in future.
