Thanks to its user-driven translation program, Facebook which is already available in 64 languages because of its translation program which is driven by users, is now extending the same services to Facebook Connect where third-party websites can offer users to login with their Facebook ID.
Facebook has posted a simple code in its developer blog which can be used by the third party websites to change the language of Facebook Connect. This option will also be available in Fan Box and Live Stream Box, the recently released Connect options.
This development comes after Google’s Friend Connect provided support for 47 languages in the week gone by. Google also revealed that nearly 5 million sites have been using its identity tool. It is expected that Facebook would be able to increase its reach substantially with this new offering.
