A new option has been available for the Facebook users for reading foreign fan pages.With the help of Microsoft’s Bing Translator technology, the users can click a link to translate Facebook pages not written in their language without leaving Facebook.

This move has come from Facebook a week after Microsoft’s announcement for new Microsoft Translator API.

This is, however, another win for Bing on multiple fronts. It is one more commitment from a social network into their service. It’s also another major player to use their translation API.

Many companies will be forced to decide what to do about translation, since Google decided to make their Translate API a paid service only, effectively shutting down the free translate API as of December 1, 2011.

The translation doesn’t happen automatically. Translation is provided via an app that users must install (give permission to) in order to translate Facebook pages into their own language.

By clicking on the translator button, Bing Translator will provide the translation to your language in a popout window. Apart from the translation, users will also have the opportunity to correct the translation and submit it. If a user-submitted translation receives enough support, it will replace the Bing translation automatically each time future users click the translate button for that individual post.There are also options to turn the translation ability off altogether.

An year old start up company known as Julpan is acquired by Twitter which will help them surface relevant results in the stream.Another important part is acquisition of the Julpan engineering team which also includes Ori Allon.

A better stream organization is the main objective of Twitter’s Julpan acquisition. Julpan’s technology was focused on precisely that sort of social update ranking.There is much more to Twitter’s acquisition than algorithmic technology. Presence of Allon and his team of 11 engineers is icing on the cake for Twitter.

Ori Allon was a former engineer in Google who left the company to pursue the Julpan project.His work entered a new high when his algorithm Orion was purchased in 2006.It still plays an important role in Google’s search rankings.

The details of the acquisition were not disclosed and the aquisition indicates a stronger focus on algorithmic ranking. Wait for for something new like tweet-optimization in the coming days.
