Now even more people can tweet in their native tongue. Twitter on Wednesday added right-to-left languages to its Translation Center, starting with Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, and Urdu.
These languages don’t yet work through Twitter.com or Twitter’s suite of apps. Speakers must access the Translation Center, Twitter’s crowd-sourced effort at making more languages available in the 140-character format. On this site, Twitter uses a lineup of more than 425,000 volunteers around the world, who help make Twitter understandable to a wider population.
Today’s addition brings the total number of available languages to 22. More.

I would like to tweet in Hebrew, but I don't particularly want anyone or anything being able to update my profile or to post tweets for me.
No thanks.
I'll wait until I can use them through Twitter.com (normal twitter).
