On 8 August 2011, managing director Sallie Pisch announced the launch of "Youm7 English Edition", stating that the English-language paper aimed to fill the gap in "quality, understandable news coverage coming out of Egypt in English." "Youm7 English Edition" also managed an Egypt Wiki that "aims to provide background info on Egyptian politicians, public figures and organizations in one location." As of 2 May 2012, the Youm7 English Edition appears to no longer be functioning, as the link to the English Edition homepage redirects to the "Youm7" Arabic site. On 13 December 2012, the English Edition Twitter profile tweeted "Dear followers, we are currently having a problem with our website. We hope to get it figured out and back online soon!" As of 2 May 2012, the Youm7 English Edition Twitter profile's last tweet was published on 21 December 2012.
