Why Matador Is Launching Sites in 7 Languages

As we move towards the World Cup in Brazil next year, followed by the Olympics, it’s going to be super fun having ground level reporting from South America.

In addition, we’ll be launching in the coming months:

• French
• German
• Korean
• Japanese
• Mandarin

Beyond just expanding our offering, the real reward for creating these new sites is that people can share perspectives and engage in their own native languages. Language encodes culture, and for a media company and community based around travel, publishing in English only allows one point of entry to the conversation.

We look forward to hearing from you all soon. Let’s build a meaningful discussion around the cultures and places we love, no matter where they are, or what language is spoken.
