Chinese-language Facebook launches

Chinese-language Facebook launches | Media | guardian.co.uk
Facebook has introduced Chinese-language versions of its social networking website, marking its first move into the world’s largest internet market.
Users in China are now directed through to zh-cn.facebook.com, offering simplified and traditional Chinese language versions, and the social networking site has also added Russian, Finnish, Portuguese, Czech and Catalan offerings.
The social networking site started its first new language versions in January this year, using professional translators to establish the basic parts of the site and then asking users to translate the rest.
That was actually quite a smart thing for them to do. By asking users, it has resulted in better translation and also saves them lots of money.

BBC – Newsbeat – Technology – Facebook set for major facelift
If you are getting fed up of all the vampires, booze mail and super wall posts, then help could be on the way.
The social network site Facebook is getting ready for the first major makeover in its short history.
Designers are planning some widespread changes to the way the core profile page is organised, aimed at making it “simpler, cleaner and more relevant”.
The site is consulting its users on the changes ahead of a gradual roll out starting next month.
