HI FRIENDS,
Spotify Will Soon Be Available in Hindi
The Spotify app will soon be available in Hindi.
Spotify announce that Hindi is part of a wave of 36 new languages coming soon to Spotify.
With the arrival of Hindi Spotify UI will be available in more than 60 languages in total.
Hindi will be the last major language to join the fray. Currently, Spotify is available in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Indonesian, and Japanese.
While Hindi music has been available on Spotify since launch, lyrics aren’t available in Hindi.
Maybe once the Spotify app is localised in Hindi, it can start working to include Hindi song lyrics too.
