Facebook Starts Translating

As Caroline McCarthy has posted, Facebook is in the process of translating their site into multiple languages. The first site screenshot of Facebook in Spanish is displayed below. Don’t expect to see the new versions right away though. As Caroline points out, Facebook is holding off on switching on the new versions until they have gone through the voting process. This will prevent the site from having spammers or other virtual misfits from playing games with the Facebook translation process.

As has been reported elsewhere, Facebook is using a crowdsourcing model for site translation opting to let the users translate it rather than paying translators.
