Freelancer.co.uk today announced that it had broken through the 8 million user mark, the same day as it launched 10 new languages. The new user total now surpasses the combined value of all its nearest competitors.
The launch of Freelancer.co.uk in Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian, Polish, Czech, Bengali, Hindi, Japanese and Romanian, bringing the total to 30 languages, provides a more seamless and tailored experience, and is complemented by an around the clock multilingual support team and local currency support and payment options.
Freelancer.co.uk currently operates in 234 countries and regions where users speak a diverse range of languages and dialects. Less than a third of the world’s population speak English and with around 5 billion people rapidly gaining access to internet, Freelancer.co.uk is well positioned to support these up and coming entrepreneurs.
Matt Barrie, Freelancer.co.uk Chief Executive, said “with 8 million users, 30 languages, 15 currencies, and a 24/7 support team that speaks 10 languages, Freelancer.co.uk truly is the world’s global workforce for small businesses and entrepreneurs. No other freelancing marketplace in the world comes close in terms of the number of users, languages, currencies or support.”
The introduction of the new languages and functionality broadens the outsourcing and crowdsourcing experience beyond the English speaking world and into the burgeoning markets of Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
