Go internationalize your Facebook application now

If you are a Facebook app developer, having more and more users to install your application is (hopefully) one of the main goal. If this applies to you, then here, take this tip. Facebook is going international. And, as always, it does not forget its fellow developers! Yes, actually it is going international for (almost) free, and it is now taking all of you to internationalize for (absolutely) free! The idea to achieve this is sort of slick, it is done via a official application called Translations. It has been there for quite a while already. As a normal user, you can install this application and pick a language to translate Facebook into a certain non-English language. So far some excellent work has been done. The Official part of Facebook (including the basic interface and official apps) speaks more than 15 languages today. But that's of course not the end of the story: Translations is now open to all third-party Facebook applications! I can't think of any reason not to do this: go install Translations and click Admin Panel. There you choose the language whose users you want (tick them all!). And your app will get internationalize in a couple of days! It is that easy.
