To butcher a quote from Spider-Man: with global power comes global responsibility. Now that Twitter has caught on around the world, it has to start supporting its many, many users who speak languages other than English. Spanish is the latest language to get official support from Twitter, announced in a blog post by Biz Stone. Appropriately, Biz wrote his announcement in Spanish.

In case you didn't study español in high school, here's the gist (Thanks, Google Translator! Thanks, high school Spanish teachers!):

Earlier this month, Twitter invited volunteers to translate the site into more languages. Biz thanks the volunteers who worked on the Spanish translation and explains that you can now change your language in Twitter's settings panel, or on the Twitter.com front page in the bottom right corner. He goes on to recommend some Spanish-speaking users to follow, including celebrities like NBA star Manu Ginobili.


Spanish is Twitter's third language, after English and Japanese.
