When foursquare co-founder and CEO Dennis Crowley touched on future features for the location-based mobile app during a keynote interview at Social Media Week New York last week, he must have been looking further out into the future than Monday, as he never mentioned the new languages being added.
French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese are now supported by foursquare, and users’ default languages can be changed by updating their Blackberry, iPhone, or Android apps, during which they will see prompts.
The foursquare Web site will add those five languages, and more are on the way for both the apps and the site, foursquare said on its blog.
Looks like big social networks want to reach for non-English audience. We reported yesterday that hi5 added Chinese and now Facebook added Spanish translation of their popular social network.
To do the job nearly 1500 spanish-speaking users helped to translate Facebook and after 4 weeks of work 2.8 million users now will have possibility to use Facebook in their own language.
“Over 60 percent of Facebook users are now outside of the U.S., and many live in countries where English is not the primary language” said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook.
“Our goal has always been to allow people to use Facebook in their native language so we built an application to enable users to participate in translating the site into their local languages and dialects. We really appreciate the contribution from users in translating Facebook.”
