If you’re a content creator in the U.S. or Europe, you might want to consider also making your content available in other languages, so that it can be available in South America, Philippines, Russia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

These are findings of a study by Datareportal. The graph below was created by Electronics Hub, based on the report. These are the areas that average the most screen time as well as social media time.

Most of us communicate in English, but making your content available in other languages is a way to increase your audience, using the content you’re already making in English.

Language translation has become incredibly easy, you can use tools like ChatGPT from Microsoft or Google Gemini for translation, and then create audio voice overs using ElevenLabs.

Check out the graphs below from Electronics Hub with some key findings by Spacelab from the report.
