One Direction's Harry Styles' tweets have been translated into Spanish and Italian, complete with their own Twitter handles.

 

Translation service One Hour Translation has created @OHT_HarrySP and @OHT_HarryIT for international fans who do not understand Styles' quips in his native English.

 

The accounts are manned by the company's human translators, ensuring higher levels of accuracy and nuance than computer-generated responses.

 

Styles himself has over 20 million Twitter followers, and billions of adoring fans worldwide.

 

The Spanish and Italian handles have been created ahead of One Direction's Where We Are world stadium tour, which is set to touch down in Spain and Italy during June and July.

 

The band’s latest album, Midnight Memories, has already sold over 80,000 copies in Spain and 120,000 in Italy.

 

David Shaw, VP of Business Development at One Hour Translation, said: “Despite having over 20 million Twitter followers, Harry Styles could surely reach an even greater number of fans if his tweets were available in the native language of those who can’t read English.

 

"The new Twitter handles will demonstrate how communicating with people in a language they fully understand generates better engagement and understanding."

 

One Hour Translation previously created a free Twitter-based translation service during the Sochi Winter Olympics, and launched in the UK last month.

 

Users tweeted @OHT asking for translations for everything from how to ask for directions in Russian to good luck messages to foreign athletes in their native language.

She's certainly not afraid to be embarrassed on national television.

 

Kate Mara allowed herself to be blindfolded and teamed up against the quick-witted Tracy Morgan for a hilarious celebrity guessing game show on Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live.

 

The 31-year-old House Of Cards star also opened up to the funnyman host about her crush on Harry Styles.

 

Kate graced the Hollywood studio with her presence in a chic white mini-dress topped with elegant lace, with a slice of fabric cut-out to show off her toned midriff.

 

She and the 30 Rock star had their eyes completely covered with black blindfolds as they stood behind the buzzers competed for Kimmel's notorious game show Name That Famous Celebrity.

 

The game involves Kimmel's funny and joyful celebrity-loving friend Yehya - whose favourite thing to say is 'God bless you' - describing a celebrity, whilst the actors' task is to guess who he's describing.

 

Kimmel later confronted Kate about a tweet she wrote last week, saying that she was 'getting drunk and listening to One Direction', which the actress confirmed 'happens most nights' - and that she is a fan of the boy band.

 

'I mean, have you seen Harry Styles' face?!' she gushed, adding: 'He's young, it's embarrassing!'

 

But apparently she wouldn't be as nervous around the British musician as she was with Oprah.

 

'I feel like with Harry I'd play it cool, but--' then, dissolving into awkward laughter, 'I'd turn into a 14-year-old!'

 

Still reveling in the self-aware hilarity of it all, Kate later joked 'I'd babysit One Direction any day!'

 

Wouldn't we all, Kate? :drama:
