Users taking part in the project voted on translations by others. For example, translators settled on "dar un toque" as the Spanish phrase for the word "poke," which has ambiguous meanings in Facebook parlance, both in Spanish and English.
Facebook said in a statement that it plans shortly to allow independent developers to use the volunteer translation system to let users translate their own programs into Spanish.
