Friendster has implemented multi-language support on a single domain– Friendster.com– to promote communication and interaction among users who speak different languages. A large percentage of friend networks on Friendster cross borders and continents, requiring multi-language support to be implemented in a single, global web site. The new language offerings will help Friendster maintain and extend its leadership position in Asia.
