Last week, Facebook launched a Spanish version of the site that for the first time allows hispanohablantes anywhere to sign up and browse the site in their native language. And now, anyone on Facebook can set their language preference for their account as well as select a language for sending invites to their friends.
What made this launch remarkable is that the site was translated by the Facebook community using an application developed by Facebook. Although other translation projects have used similar collaborative methods, the dynamic nature of the site, and the variety and richness of the content, made this project all the more challenging.
