The document discusses the internationalization of Facebook over time. It notes that Facebook launched translations in 2004, initially aiming for 21 languages. By 2010, Facebook was available in over 60 languages. It also provides examples of machine translations and user translations on Facebook that resulted in unintended meanings or jokes among users.
