Translate this… Facebook gave me skillz!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

And I quote:

Hello Psymon101, do you speak English (UK)?
Help translate Facebook into English (UK) so that it can be used by people all over the world, in all languages.

Besides the different spelling of a few things, like grey and gray, color to colour,
what is there to translate?

Example 1:

English(US) : “Hi, I am one of the new translators for Facebook”
English(UK #2): “Wotcha there, I am one of the new translators for facebook!  ”
English(UK #3): “Allroyt, I yam ‘un of the noo translators fer facebook.”

Here we have two “UK” translations of the same thing, if I lived in the city of London I would probably say Example 2, if I lived in Birmingham I would say Example 3.

This is, as with many things about Facebook things that can be filled under ridiculous, the only thing that Facebook has ever offered me is a great way to get in contact with friends of long ago. As for their silly apps/games they just don’t appeal to me., I just cant see the point!

So Facebook, if you see some “translations” in Brummy or Cockney (Example 3 and 2 respectively) you know what translator did the deed.
