MUMBAI: Disney Channel's hit series for kids and tweens, That's So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, will be made available in six different languages, on the soon to be re-launched broadband site, DisneyChannel.com.

The language tracks are English, Hindi, Spanish, German, French and Mandarin Chinese.

The announcement was made today by Disney Channel Worldwide president Rich Ross and Disney ABC Television Group executive vice president digital media Albert Cheng.

Ross said, "Disney Channel speaks to kids and kids speak many languages and now we speak to them in many of their languages. Whether it is seventh grade Spanish classes or kids who have just emigrated from India or China, we just want to continue the conversation."

"We are committed to offering programming to viewers no matter when, where or how they want it and this is further example of how we are accomplishing our goals," said Cheng.

Free of charge and on-demand, the companion DisneyChannel.com will offer select episodes of live-action and animated series, short-form content, music videos and Disney Channel Original Movie "bonus" materials. Video content will be refreshed on a weekly basis. Developed in conjunction with Disney Online, the full-length, streaming video content is advertiser-supported with adjacent customized spots and fixed display advertising.
