Red Karaoke Deploys Multilingual Capabilities
Friday, August 29th, 2008
We're so young on the web but we've come so far. At Red Karaoke, our mission is to meet the needs of our large international audience by becoming a truly global medium. We’ve been working hard to bring you new innovative features. Today, users on Red Karaoke can upload karaoke tracks in different languages according to user preference and selection of language. With this new feature, we continue advancing our international web development meeting the needs and expectations of karaoke users around the globe.
So how does it work? For instance, if you check out the “Can You Celebrate” version of Japanese artist Amuro Namie, you’ll be able to see and sing in English as well as Japanese. The lyrics appear in English and Japanese characters simultaneously. Voila, you’re ready to sing to and record in the language of your choicew.
But that’s not all, the list of languages that we are now supporting includes:
- Japanese
- Chinese
- Cyrillic languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian)
- Vietnamese
- Thai (Cambodian)
- Korean
- Greek
We’re also happy to share with you that we’re exploring and working on incorporating the Arabic and Hebrew language to our list of multilingual capabilities. Beware of the fact though that the multilingual feature works only if the language of the uploaded song is correctly set by the user who uploads the song. If you upload a Japanese song and you set the language to English, the ideographic characters will be shown as squares, because the character set is changed depending on the language of the song in our database.
We’ll continue updating you on the usability aspect of new rolled out features. In the meantime, start uploading your karaoke files in the language of your choice here! And if you have questions or comments, drop us a line. We’ll be happy to assist you.

OK we've been getting some emails from our community of users with their requests. Surprisingly, a large number of emails came from users who are fans of musicals Disney or otherwise. So we have thought of bringing you an assortment of karaoke songs from your favorites artists for you to sing, record and have fun. This week we invite you to take on the mic and start singing from the following list of smashing musical titles such as:
At an early age Taylor Swift seems to have been destined for success. Reportedly, when she got her first guitar, she used to practice “until her fingers bled or her mom called her to dinner.” At 11 years old, Taylor showed drive and determination when she persuaded her mom to vacation in Nashville, the country-music mecca.
Alright so you are fan of Camp Rock star Demi Lovato. I guess we have good news for you. Yeah, the teen star debuted the new music video “Get Back” at 9:35 ET/PT last Friday August 22. The debut of the video followed the premiere of another Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls One World. It's like Disney is taking over this space.OMG!
What can be more eclectic than this? Jamelia is a British R&B diva who was born in Birmingham, England to a Jamaican mother and a Zimbabwean father. In her prolific career she has released so far three studio albums, each of which has reached the Top 40 in her native UK, which have generated eight UK top ten singles. In addition,
Kreesha Turner, an Alberta native pop princess, is already being touted as the “Canadian Rihanna”. Her meteoric rise to the top of the charts in Canada as well as in the United States landed her with Capitol Music/EMI.

Classics never die and we believe that Eagles songs are karaoke essentials. Thus, thinking of you we have put together a collection of Eagles karaokes for you to select and start singing. So… you don't have to be a Southern California 70's kind of individual to appreciate Eagles interpretations. From classic Hotel California, Heartache Tonight, I Can't Tell You Why, to New Kid in Town, the band has been able to stay relevant in the hearts of not only the American public but also worldwide.
Miley Cyrus' "Best of Both Worlds", the 3-D Movie will be officially released on DVD and Blu-Ray this August 19th. So yeah Miley Cyrus has been quite busy creating music and movies appealing mainly to the preteen demo and has in the process become a new pop culture icon. In Best of Both Worlds, not only Miley Cyrus but the Jonas Brothers are featured. Whether you or your preteen enjoy their music, we've got karaokes for you.
Not that we want you to cause a riot over the new release of “A Little Bit Longer” the new production of the Jonas Brothers scheduled to be released today August 12. But, in all honesty, these kids are all over the place. No questions about it, Kevin, Joe, and Nick have been quite busy creating music appealing mostly to that younger demo and have become in the process a new pop cultural phenomenom. This new album contains 12 tracks, and according to music critics, marks a new evolving step in their careers as songwriters.
