YouTube has added 15 more languages to navigate the site in, raising the total to 76.

These new languages include Azerbaijani, Armenian, Georgian, Kazakh, Khmer, Kirghiz, Lao, Macedonian, Mongolian, Burmese, Nepali, Punjabi, Sinhala, Albanian and Uzbek.

The 76 language options only covers site navigation, and they translate YouTube’s text, links and buttons.

According to the Google-owned video-sharing website, that number covers 95 per cent of Internet users.

YouTube videos themselves also have caption support for over 165 languages.
