The answer is no. In your example, a person using the French interface to Facebook will not see content that is written in English as French. In other words, the language translations are only for Facebook functional and instructional copy only. Not the content itself. There is no automatic process for this. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Apple-Students/11147074409?ref=ts" rel="nofollow">Apple Students</a> Facebook Fan Page has a built in i-frame that will allow the user to select a specific country. The content of the page refreshes to both the local language, and local content. This was built at additional cost, and not part of the Facebook offering. Hope that helps. collin Great question!

The first thought would be to publish in English, but that seems off-putting. Could a user in France, for example, click to read a US-created Facebook page in their native language?
