SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 12/13/12 — , the zooming presentation that makes sharing ideas fun and engaging, launched localized websites in Spanish, Japanese and Korean languages today. The new websites will bolster adoption among the Spanish, Japanese and Korean-speaking communities, making it even easier to share big ideas and make an impact worldwide. Prezi continues its global expansion, surpassing the 17 million user mark, with more than one million new users joining each month and two prezis created every second.
“We-ve always had a global perspective at Prezi recognizing that great ideas are not bound by geography, culture or language,” said Prezi CEO, Peter Arvai. “The new localized websites will help our communities across the globe to tell even more powerful stories.”
There are more than 1.6 million Spanish speakers in the Prezi community, the second largest language segment behind English, and three out of the top six countries using Prezi are Spanish-speaking (Colombia, Spain, and Mexico). Additionally, this community is skyrocketing with a year-over-year growth rate of almost 200 percent. “Many of our most popular prezis either originated in or are quickly translated to Spanish (see ),” remarked Drew Banks, Prezi Head of Marketing.

Unsolicited social engagement has helped grow Prezi-s adoption with Japanese-speaking users.
