Good news for Indians…Facebook has recently launched itself in 5 Indian regional languages.
With more than 1100 million people, a large number of whom are young, India can be a big market for Facebook and similar other social networking sites.
Just a few weeks ago Gmail also introduced Indian languages for composing email on this popular email service provider.
After Orkut, Facebook is the second most widely liked networking site in India.
Users can change language settings through the ‘settings’ tab or through the language option on their Facebook homepage.
Facebook users can only browse through the site in the five regional languages and not message each other or update their status yet. Rival Google’s social networking site Orkut has Indian language transliteration in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
Introduction of regional languages was incorporated by Google in its networking site Orkut, however when the facility was tried by users there were some technical drawbacks which did not allow transliteration through Google’s own browser Chrome. Online war to defeat and rise is always on by websites in competition, and the new change seems to be Facebook’s trial to fit in visitor’s convenient requirement.
