Nick Denton has signed a deal with VNU Media to make Gizmodo, his gadgets blog, available in eight languages. "While we are unsure how most of our high-brow humor will translate into the mother tongues—how does 'Sucks Big Monkeys' sound in Italian?—we are definitely happy to see that the world, not just the English-speaking bits, can now enjoy a fine dose of Gizmodo with their morning cup of cafe/koffie/kaffee/caffe or afternoon toad-in-the-hole/bratwurst/head cheese," says the announcement.
The international sites include Gizmodo in British English, Innit? Bob's Your Uncle.
Comment: there is a certain amount of speculation that the Denton empire could be on Rupert Murdoch's shopping list....
