After all, all the applications will still be in English. People will prefer to continue using the English language version, or use a completely different site. The same problem with MySpace, you can't really distinquish between the different langugae versions, because the site has been designed originally for one language. Facebooks internationalization attempts will not bring it significant success. I don’t think a version of Facebook translated into other languages will help them for becoming more popular.
