Facebook Connect Goes International

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.
