Users can visit the main www.yahoo.co.in website and use the regional language buttons on the top navigation bar of the site to access this site in their favourite Indian language. They can also access their site using the following link and by replacing the language that they wish to view the site in. in.hindi.yahoo.com, in.kannada.yahoo.com etc.

Yahoo! India has also announced an update to Yahoo! Messenger Indichat module which can now facilitate chatting in 9 regional languages. The Yahoo!
