Digital sport specialist Perform has announced it will offer its sports news service, Omnisport, in five new languages.

Perform is adding Arabic, French, Italian, German and Spanish language versions to all video content from January next year.

Omnisport - which combines video, editorial, data and images to create 40 sports news stories a day cleared for all platforms – was originally launched last month in international sound and English only.

“It’s been apparent that the sports news sector has been in need of investment and innovation for a number of years now with incumbent providers failing to move with the times,” said Oliver Slipper, joint chief executive of Perform.

“By providing the service in six languages, we are further reducing overhead requirements for broadcasters and significantly improving the speed with which they can publish breaking news from the world of sport on any platform.”
