Google Friend Connect - Now in 47 new languages

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 11:05 PM

Update: The described product or service is no longer available.


Have you been holding off on using Google Friend Connect because your site isn't in English? Starting today, Friend Connect is available in 47 new languages, including French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi and Portuguese. Now you can easily add social features that match the language of other content on your site.

Most Google-created gadgets (such as the members, comments, and recommendation gadgets) are now available in these new languages. Some developers have also created gadgets that support additional languages and we hope that there will be more to come in the future. To see a list of gadgets available in your language, visit the gadget gallery.

When you add Friend Connect to a new site, it will default to your primary language. But if your site is in another language, simply select it on the site settings tab and Friend Connect will automatically render the gadgets in that language. And if have multiple sites in different languages, you can select a different language for each of your sites.

To learn more or see the full list of languages, check out the Social Web Blog.

I don't know where to put this comment so that it si noticed by the people at google, so put it in the newest post here...

My blog www.sanjeevsaikiaart.blogspot.com always appears on google search queries with the main headline of the post in the query results, but suddenly from today, the main headline has stopped appearing, instead only the tags or sub heads or text appears, this brings my blog way down in the results... pls advice how I can get my blog to start appearing in post headline form again!

Thanks, Sanjeev

Dear Google
I would like to give a suggestion that Google should also use TAMIL Language for Transations.

Tamil is spoken in Srilanka, Malaysia, Singapore,Fiji,Myanmar,Mauritius,South Africa other than INDIAN STATE OF TAMILNADU.....
