Forget Facebook Lite, Here’s the Site in uʍop ǝpısdn ɥsıןƃuǝ

September 11th, 2009

By Eric Eldon

Facebook may have launched Lite and a bunch of other new products yesterday, but here’s another recent change that the company quietly introduced. It’s a new dialect available for English speakers, a way to automatically turns words on the site upside down and backwards.

And, it’s yet another joke language for the site. Another one, “English (Pirate),” has previously launched but is still in “beta”. Both dialects are available as options in Facebook’s language-picking feature.

That isn’t too recent, it’s already been there for quite a while.

I’m pretty sure I’ve had access to this for months. Are you sure this is new?

Surely isn’t a another ‘joke language’ – it’s for Australians.

Hey guys,

The first mention I saw of English Upside Down was from August 30th, but happy to update with evidence of an earlier release.

Afropeat, one day I’ll get to it!

[...] Facebook才知道Facebook早兩天新推出了一個「語言版本」。不是希臘文、希伯來語，又或者是北歐/ 中東語言，而是英文版！ [...]
