Google has expanded its social media toolkit Google Friend Connect has now also been launched in German. The service, which enables website operators to integrate various social networking functions on their platforms, is now available in a total of 48 different languages. Google Friend Connect is intended to help increase traffic on websites and enrich Internet offerings with various so-called gadgets. The mini-applications enable users to communicate interactively with each other on a personal level, writes Google in its official press release. The aim is to bring online communities even closer together.
Previously, Friend Connect was only available in English. From now on, you can choose from 48 languages, which can also be varied separately for each subpage. According to Google, this is to ensure that the websites can be used and understood even without foreign language skills. In addition to German, users can now also choose from languages such as Russian, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Hebrew and Swedish. Friend Connect should initially be of particular interest to smaller platforms and blog sites. "In general, however, Google has not geared the service specifically to any particular size. I think that Friend Connect could also be useful for larger publishing sites, for example, in order to offer additional services," Stefan Keuchel, spokesperson for Google Germany, told Pressetext.
