Google rolled out localized search in Iraq and Tunisia



    Google continues to actively develop services and work further, despite all sorts of different difficulties in connection with the problems of the Google Books project and the lawsuit in Europe. Yesterday, the company announced the launch of a localized search for Iraq and Tunisia. I don’t know how many people use the Internet in Iraq, but in any case, a search service in their own language is nice.

    The localized service in Iraq will operate on the google.iq domain, and in Tunisia on the google.tn domain. I am surprised how no one has captured such “tasty” domains - in Ukraine, google.ua seems to be still not the property of the corporation, despite the lawsuit lasting several months last year.

    A localized service in Tunisia and Iraq allows you to search for the necessary information in Arabic, as well as in other languages ​​that are in use in this region (Kurdish in Iraq and French in Tunisia). In any case, such information was provided by one of the company's managers, Abdel-Karim Mardini, who works in the Middle East and Africa. According to the company, “local” domains can make the Internet more open for local residents.

    It is also reported that the corporation is going to continue work on the localization of its search service. So far, 40 languages ​​have been outlined, which are the most widely spoken in the world and spoken by more than 99% of the world's Internet users.

    In general, the good news for the residents of Tunisia and Iraq, that's for sure.
