Ever since the concept of social networking website has come to the fore, it has taken the world by storm and the bulk of users, at present, are members of Facebook. Facebook is basically a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. and users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.

The website was created by Mark Zuckerberg with fellow computer science major students and his roommates Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes while he was a student at Harvard University. The website currently has more than 250 million active users worldwide.

What is the reason of this overwhelming success? It is Facebook’s multi-lingual (64 languages and locales) availability and only in the month of May, Facebook added support for six Indian languages. For this reason Facebook Connect, its universal login effort, has got a multi-lingual support. At the Facebook Developer Blog, Facebook boasts on implementation of Facebook Connect to about 15,000 websites , devices and applications worldwide.

Let’s get acquainted with the concept of Facebook Connect. Facebook Connect happens to be a universal login interface wherein users can sign in, publish content which will be integrated to with Facebook, and distributed to other networks including Facebook itself.

What is the utility then? Keep in mind, from this time forth all Facebook developers (already implemented Facebook Connect) can select the languages in which Facebook Connect’s features get rendered. It is to be noted that users connecting or publishing content through Facebook Connect will appear in the language specified by the developer. In this way, the user generated content will be presented in more languages and will be accessible to larger masses. Facebook already offers international translation of Facebook in several languages.
