Wikia International
Wikia is a multi-lingual company and we're hosting wikis in more than 100 languages. Besides our many visitors from the US or other English speaking countries, there is a huge amount of people who love to experience wikias in their mother tongue. To help and support them, we have an international team from all over the world.
