Facebook has recently launched the Chinese version of their site. The huge social networking company has already got its Chinese clone xiaonei that has raised $430 million and is currently having a lion’s share in the China’s market.
Facebook is working passionately to expand its social network by introducing its multilingual versions. Great China, being the largest and most populated country of mother earth will surely help Facebook to gain a dominant position in the internationally.
MySpace (One of the main competitors of Facebook) has already marked its nail by introducing their Chinese version. Numbers of other companies that are based on same concept such as spoofs, 51.com, Qzone have already released multilingual versions (covering Chinese) and this would really give an arduous and uphill competition to Facebook.
According to a non-official blog of Facebook it provides supports for simplified and traditional Chinese languages. I logged in to my Facebook account and didn’t see any support for Chinese in a drop down menu of languages; I think they are still going through a maintenance phase of fully supporting it.
The battle of dominating a social network market is going on and some of the well-known competitors of a company will definitely give it a hard pill to swallow.
