Facebook – German translation still incomplete

October 7, 2008 | by Robert comments Comments

Four months after Facebook started local translations in over 60 languages, the German version still shows many inconsistencies. According to Mark Zuckerberg’s presentation in Berlin this Monday, the social utility has more than 100 million users worldwide, but just 1,2% German users. Facebook’s offline campaign “Deutschland macht blau” is about to bring a change here and tries to encourage German users to share and communicate online on Facebook. But the success of the campaign is in question as long as there are obvious language problems with the German version.

Next monday Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook will be in Berlin to kick off the campagn “Deutschland macht blau“. After 4 years of getting Facebook to the number one social network, Facebook wants to see more german students online, which are, by now still underrepresented on Facebook. StudiVZ the german alternative of Facebook, was founded in 2005 and is the leading german social network. Despite from all discussions about any copy and paste activities around the development of StudiVZ, they have over 10 millions users. Still Facebook and StudiVZ shared some undeniable visual simmilarities until the launch of Facebooks new design, the features and the way people use it are in detail very different.
