Inside Facebook reports that only a few languages, including Spanish, French, Hebrew, and Chinese, are currently supported, but that's just the start. The benefit of such a feature is pretty obvious; the people you couldn't talk to because the spoke another language can now be brought into the conversation. Cool. You potentially have the opportunity to broaden your circle of friends. But what about the privacy issue? Supposing you don't want people to translate the conversation you have with family members in your mother tongue? No word on that just yet. Hopefully Facebook gets it right.

Like the Universal Translator from Star Trek.
Wow, I think I just outed myself as a nerd.
Better get down to the basement so Mother doesn't wake up.
That's pretty cool though it's good for Facebook to install this feature. If they want to remain the top social networking website then they need to stay up to date and with Chrome and Firefox recently implementing translation tools this seems like a logical step to me.
nice post!
this will be good news for facebook users
