This can't possibly end well


Social
networking site Facebook has announced that it is now available in Hebrew and Arabic.

The site is already available in over 40 languages, but it seems getting the hang of right-to-left languages wasn't easy, hence it took quite a while to add support for them.

As if it wasn't hard enough as it is, developers had to take into account numerous Arabic dialects, which in the words of Facebooker Ghassan Haddad "border on being completely separate languages".

Facebook plans to add support for a further 60 languages in the future.
