SketchUp 6 now in 6 languages

Posted by Aidan Chopra, Product Evangelist

It's my pleasure to announce that Google SketchUp 6 is now available for download in six languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. Both the Free and Pro versions of SketchUp 6 (which includes LayOut) are available.

Those who have ever been involved in translating software know that it's a monumental task. Credit for this achievement goes to more people than I can name in this post, but special thanks go out to Chris K, Helen, Steve P and Tommy from the SketchUp team; they did a terrific job, and we're proud of them.

Incidentally, Google search is available in more than a hundred languages, including Faroese, Uighur and Twi, so it looks like Chris, Helen and the rest of the gang will be working a lot of weekends to get us caught up.
