Google has registered national domains for the YouTube site in nine countries:

National versions of sites are fully translated, allow you to search for content. Over time, the national versions will be able to make a rating of the plots, leave comments on the clips uploaded to the national sites, as well as use the localized menu: “Video”, “Channel”, “Categories” and “Community”.
