Facebook, ya en Español también!

Facebook today have released thier Spanish version of the site. A lo mejor ahora, los amigos en España ya abrirán cuentas. The localisation has been done using a collaborative model, where the users of the site have submitted translations. This is a low cost way of going about doing this, and quality will most certainly take a hit. Google took this approach in the beginning but has moved to a paid for approach now. Using the collaborative approach obviously induces a loss of quality control; Google had Klingon as a localised option in the early days, and I’m at a loss to know how those translations could be verified! I would assume that later on Facebook will replace this version with a higher quality version, as they will do with the other language versions that are certain to follow. Pero bueno, por ahora estoy contento que los amigos en Madrid van a espabilar y unir con los guiris en el mundo de Facebook.
