En Espanol Facebook in Spanish
Facebook has introduced a Spanish version of its popular social networking website as part of efforts to attract new audiences. It said this was the first of several languages besides English that the site plans to offer, with French and German versions expected soon. Facebook experienced a huge growth in user numbers during the past year, but now faces stiff competition. The firm said 60% of its 64 million users were from outside the US.
1,500 Spanish-speaking users on Facebook helped to translate the site from English to Spanish in less than four weeks. From 11 February, any person who goes to the website from a Spanish-speaking country will automatically see the Spanish version.
The firm said it currently had more than 2.8 million active users in Latin America and Spain.
