We are excited to announce the rollout of AdSense for a limited number of non-English languages. Existing AdSense publishers now have the option of placing their ad code on pages with content in French, German, Italian, and Spanish, providing that these pages comply with the Terms and Conditions and program policies.
Enjoy..

It says "Existing AdSense publishers".
Does it mean that if I am not an AdSense publisher and if I don't own a web site in english language I'm still not eligible for Google AdSense?
Well said, martinibuster. In the last week or so, Spain has gotten the Madrid office, we launched the site on google.es, we added Google News in Spanish, and now AdSense for Spanish and other languages. Pretty cool..
When will AdSense be available for Chinese sites?
I want to expand my site to Chinese and I'm eager to find out about this.
I was accepted [webmasterworld.com] for AdSense 12 hours ago and placed the code all over my english pages. Since more than 80% of my pages are non-english i've been a bit frustrated that i can't place AdSense there ... now i wake up and AdSense might bring me the real money, hehehehe. :) What a wonderfull day!
I hope there is enough ad inventory in Spanish.
Keep in touch with the Dutch though..
Couldn't agree more. I'm using Opera 7.2, which displays AdSense banners in the top bar. On most Dutch sites I'm seeing more or less correctly targeted Dutch ads, so I guess it won't be long before Dutch and maybe other languages follow.
What surprises me is that i couldn't find any official info that mentions the new feature (except the link you kindly provided, eaden). Didn't receive any google official mail to my adsense account and couldn't find any info at the adsense admin or anywhere else on google's site ...
Just curious: where did you find the link, eaden?
It's sure that it's official?
Come Scandinavian languages as well, come fast!
Willing to share the secret anyone ...? ;)
They sent out an email earlier today..
Hm ... was it the standard Google Newsletter or something special for AdWords or AdSense customers? Sorry for asking for more details but i want to make sure i don't miss such sources in future. ;)
Nothing more was mentioned in the announcement email on the language issue than what eaden posted. It also discussed other changes as well, which have been discussed in other threads here.
Thanks Jenstar too.
>It was in an announcement email sent to AdSense publishers, I got mine yesterday
Aah, since i've been accepted to AdSense just ~20 hours ago i suppose i'm too newbie to get such hot mails from Google. ;)
Which areas are lacking the advertisers?
Yah, that's why i'm so curious about the sources. It's such a big issue ... well, at least for the non english folks (yes there some;)
I expected to see a more offical announcement in public - at least somewhere at Google's AdSense pages. Maybe they don't want to give it too much pressure before they have some test pages in foreign languages showing AdSense!?
... i'm a proud lab rat then. :)
Study the affiliate program market - those nonenglish aff programs that are cranking will be targetted next.
what other language(s) will be next
From Google Zeitgeist, Japanese and Chinese are the two major languages missing. O has offices in South Korea..so i would think, Japanese, Chinese and S.Korea. :) And probably any or all of the scandavian countries (since both G and O has office in Netherlands)
Thank you very much for applying to Google AdSense. We appreciate your
interest in serving AdWords ads on your website. Currently, however, we
are only able to target ads to English content. As your web content is
primarily or entirely in a non-English language, we are unable to
accept your website at this time.
And probably any or all of the scandavian countries (since both G and O has office in Netherlands)
For some reason, there's a (fairly common) misperception that The Netherlands is a Scandinavian country --I can assure you it is not!
Having said that, I would certainly welcome the addition of Dutch to the AdSense language family... :)
"Big news for everyone. We can now target Affiliate Links, based on content, to just about anyone, anywhere. We have completed adding in the ability to country geo and target 100's of languages. We have also added in the ability for any mix of affiliate ads to be displayed in an ad block. For example, if a content owner says they wish to carry cpm or cpl or cps ads that have a minimum pay out of $0.50 and the advertisement must be written in German, and only show on pages where the visitor is from Germany, we can do it."
