March 13, 2009 – 8:22 am

Social networking website, Facebook.com has extended their offerings
by adding Arabic and Hebrew language versions of the site.

“It’s the first time Arabic speakers will be able to use Facebook in their own language,” Ghassan Haddad, the Facebook director of localization, told The Guardian. “It’s potentially huge.”

Currently Facebook is available in 40 languages and plans to add 60 more languages in upcoming days. Nearly 200,000 people helped to translate the website, according to Facebook.

The Arabic and Hebrew versions of Facebook are accessible now.
