If you have an international reach on Facebook, you sometimes have to be careful with words you use on your Facebook page, making sure the meaning of them stays correct when translated in other languages.

Although Facebook already works with Bing to offer translation of comments to page admins, there was, up to now, no way you could set a translated name for your business on Facebook.

Do you think your business name needs to be translated on Facebook? Do you have the option to do so yet?
