You may have noticed that Facebook automatically translates posts that are in other languages into English. But what if you want to have your entire Facebook in another language?
Maybe English isn't your first language, you've gone abroad on a cultural exchange, or you're studying another language and want to improve your skills.
Whatever the reason, you can translate your Facebook into over 100 available languages, from Spanish to French, Chinese to Russian, or even quirky languages like upside-down English or Pirate English.
It's not entirely clear why you would need these alternative options, but hey, no one's judging.
