This afternoon Facebook announced that Facebook Connect is now able to extend their service to 64 languages and locales. When developers implement social widgets, they will be able to decide which language they’d like to have as the default. Implementing Facebook Connect in another language is extremely easy, requiring the developer to only modify the include source of the Facebook Connect script.
It would also be interesting to see this system automatically determine the visitor’s default Facebook language and cater to that, however that’s not something that has been implemented yet. It’s not a huge upgrade, but it’s definitely important as Facebook expands their user base internationally. With over 250 million users and growing quickly, Facebook decided to crowd source their translation to make the process more efficient.
Developers can also choose to use Facebook’s translations application to make their applications available in multiple languages. According to Facebook, Connect has been implemented on 15,000 sites, devices, and applications so far. If you want to read more about the internationalization of Facebook Connect, check out the developer blog post.

iam just checking out anyone who would like to write me and make any comment concerning our garbage strike in toronto
my taake on the subject is this.I know that it,s been a headache,but the city should make the union a good offer like the one they gave to their managers and see what comes out of it. From what i know all workers has a fair expectation to look forward to adjustments to their wages to be on par. with the current costs of living.That,s all.

I'm interested to know – if you don't show the window in the user's language, will it not work?
Or will it show it in English?
I have an app that is getting hit by thousands of users around the World right now… and I'm thinking maybe I'm missing out on Connect users because I haven't tweaked my code…
Do you know?
