新年快樂 – 新年快乐: Kahoot! is available in Simplified and Traditional Chinese!

We’re celebrating the Chinese New Year by making Kahoot! available in Simplified and Traditional Chinese. 

As Chinese-speakers around the globe begin their Year of the Tiger celebrations, we’re thrilled to announce that from today, Kahoot! is available in Simplified and Traditional Chinese languages across our web platform and mobile app for iOS and Android. 

With more than 1 million kahoot sessions hosted in Chinese language around the world in the last 12 months, we’re delighted to be taking this huge step in making Kahoot! even more accessible and easy to use, for everyone from young learners at school or home to employees at work. With the addition of Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Kahoot! is now available in 13 languages, with our Arabic launch coming soon!
