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.
