facebook_pic11Given the situtation in IRAN, Iranians have no other way to communicate with the world but through the online medium. Tech companies quickly identified the opportunity and launched products serving the people of IRAN to help them communicate with the rest of the world.

By considering the above facts, Facebook has launched the Persian version of the their website. Just with the launch of the Google’s Persian version of Translation.

Since the Iranian election last week, people around the world have increasingly been sharing news and information on Facebook about the results. Much of the content created and shared has been in Persian—the native language of Iran—but people have had to navigate the site in English or other languages.

Today we’re making the entire site available in a beta version of Persian, so Persian speakers inside of Iran and around the world can begin using it in their native language.

Now just set your browser to Persian, you will automatically see the Persian version of Facebook. You can also change your language into Persian by going here.or you can click on the “Settings” link in the upper-right corner of any page and then go to the “Language” tab. You then can select the language you want from the drop-down menu.

Facebook said:

We could not have made this happen so quickly without the more than 400 Persian speakers who submitted thousands of individual translations of the site. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. If you speak Persian or any language not yet completely translated, you can help as well by using the Translations application.

This will help Iranians to communicate effectively in their native language.
