Yudum now speaks English 🇬🇧
We've spent today rebuilding the site in two languages. If your browser is set to
English, the whole thing — menus, games, radio, profiles, badges, help pages —
now comes up in English on its own. Nothing to switch on.
A few things worth knowing if you're new here:
• Type /register in the chat and a sign-up form opens right there. Takes seconds.
• A free account keeps your nickname reserved, and opens up voice & video calls,
your own group rooms, the social feed, games with saved scores and song requests.
• 310 games, a 24/7 radio station and rooms in a lot of languages — no app, no ads
in chat, and it's been running since 1998.
The English lobby is #lobby. Come say hi 👋
Yudum is now bilingual
Yudum.NET has been online since 1998 — long enough that some of our members
joined as teenagers and are now bringing their own kids into the rooms. For most
of that time it has been a Turkish community, and everything on the site was
written in Turkish.
That stopped making sense a while ago. More and more of the people signing up
each week come from outside Türkiye — from Bangladesh, India, Senegal, the
Netherlands, Rwanda and plenty of other places. They found the rooms, they
registered, and then they landed on a site they couldn't read.
So today we rebuilt it in two languages.
If your browser is set to English, the site now speaks English by itself: the
menus, the games section, the radio page, profiles, badges, settings, the help
pages and the how-to guides. There's no language switch to hunt for and no
half-translated screens. If your browser is set to Turkish, nothing has changed
for you at all.
Some things stay in Turkish on purpose. Our articles — the news, recipes,
biographies and guides — are written by people in Turkish, and machine-translating
thousands of them would produce something nobody wants to read. We'd rath

- Emily: This is the part that matters — I sent the link to two friends this morning and neither of them asked me how to use it.
- David: Nothing to switch on is the right call. Language pickers are where good intentions go to die.
- Mia: Been here a few weeks reading in Turkish with a translator tab open. Won't need it now. Thank you for doing this.
- Emily: The /register tip should be pinned somewhere permanent — it's the single thing that got me from lurking to actually joining.
- David: Twenty-eight years and still shipping. Most places that age are in maintenance mode at best.
- Mia: Tested it on my phone in English and the games section came through properly too. That's usually where these things fall apart.
