That’s goddamn amazing, bitches!

That’s hilarious!!!

Yawn………and this is news?

First Mel Gibson, now Facebook. Cant we all just get along? ;-)

LOL I am sure they don’t really care.

sorry, my bad… been brushing up on my Spanish lately.

- dave “i’m in yr greetingz, F’ing up yr bday, bitches” mcclure

LOL That must be a developer comment, being a developer I like to leave funky comments in code which are invoked on certain actions, this might be one of them

Why only in Spanish? o_O

Here’s another translation fail http://countermeasures.trendmicro.eu/facebook-prank-lost-in-translation/

“Your message could not be sent because the user is offline”

became

“Your message could not be sent because of your tiny penis”

Awesome!

Also, where does the term Birthday Pigs come from? Did Techcrunch just make that up or is that a secret programmer hacker bug in THEIR system?

Please make this the “F*uk you scam” and blow it out of proportion.

And it’s not the first time, it’s not the first time they insult foreigners in this manner:

their captcha stated “abscond foreigners”

http://timdl.posterous.com/facebook-to-foreigners-abscond-foreigners

Happens from time to time, cf. the double n*ggers case a year ago: http://reface.me/news/friends-are-fans-notification-hacked/

It strikes me there’s no “universal” cuss words filter.

Down

Kindly STFU, please. No one cares about your apathy. See what I did there?

They crowd-source their translations, so obviously someone thought it would be funny to put that as the translation for ‘Birthdays’.

There are more of them on the Facebook Pages, it seems like a little hack.

Now that’s an excellent way to notify people of their friends birthday… at least it grabs good ATTENTION!

Ha, I really apologize, but my not being a native English speaker made me mess up that title. Seriously thought it was a common term. Better now :)

Facebook is supporting Arizona’s racist agenda!

THIS IS FRONT PAGE MATERIAL RIGHT HERE!

you must have traded in your pirate hat, which you traded the cat-in-the-hat hat for, and traded that in for a sombrero? Am I close?

I can’t replicate this on my facebook. Sad Day.

They must only do that for important birthdays; to ensure that everyone posts on their wall.

Yep.. FB admins just want to have some fun. This is to commemorate, all the headaches they had for one year’s work.

And as you can see, Facebook finally found its Mottor of the year! So who’s the b!tch: http://2su.de/3kF

Not really blowing it out of proportion though is it.

Enterprise company with 500 million users data, cannot even screen for this stuff.

And they are letting third parties contribute content into the core of the applications, with no oversight.

What if someone doing translations, were to do a script injection attack.

Don’t you speak spanish? “Fuck You Bitches” is how you say “Happy Birthday, Friends!” in Spanish. Sheesh.

Maybe if you remove the stick from your ass, you’d enjoy the story. Unless you’re the type of person who enjoys a stick in their ass…

Hahaha, I could laugh about this all day! It definitely shouldn’t have happened, but damn is it funny. Can we file this under “Best Internet Bloopers of 2010″?

facebook’s system is pretty naive, I’d say.

It may have had chance to build a stellar engineering team around 2007-2008, but the time has long passed (stellars left and fats stay)

Yeah… I’m pretty good at Photoshop too. Prove this is real.

It’s real.

Where I’m from that is a term of endearment.

Were you raised in Facebook’s headquarters?

This is real. I check that yesterday when some messages appear similar to this. I use the integrated translation tool to send the correct one. The translator is from Spain because the badword is used only there. The one I see was “friend1 and friend2 comment the photo of friend3″ where the translator changes “comment” with “f#c*” (makes sense on spanish)

It’s a blog, not a newspaper. Everything is front page material at some point.

Woops, reply belongs on the post above.

When I test actions in my code to make sure events are firing properly, I often use expletive-laden rants in the popup dialog, or trace lines. “Fuck You Bitches” would be along those lines. The reaon I use code like that is because I am normally getting aggrivated that I am having to trace out events that are not working, thus the cursing… Dude was just blowing off some steam…

4chan anyone?

Your friend Kim Demeulenaere is kinda hawt.

Perhaps he is trying to be in the goody-good books of Facebook -

Facebook translation for malay language(bahasa melayu) also got similar lame prank.. Its like that for almost a year, and I can assume its prank from voluntier translators, not from facebook developer itself

im pretty good at firebug

Injection attacks are trivial to sanitize, there’s standardized code for that.

Word filtering is tricky, especially with translation. Probably need to place peer-review and/or consequences into the crowd-sourced solution.

Esto demuestra las excelentes destrezas que tiene Caralibro [Facebook] en cuanto a traducción.

Way to go Facebook, lol. Should we expect a post about why this happened? lol

You can do this facebook trick with this shit : http://tinyurl.com/3xnhznu

>> Injection attacks are trivial to sanitize

That’s rubbish. These types of attacks are very hard to avoid, especially for facebook.

Just yesterday a security company demonstrated how to bypass facebook script injection filters.

Their research is here:

They have a video demo here:

Facebook is vulnerable to script injections in many ways…

XSS is *not* script injection. Those are two completely different kind of attacks. A translator providing text that is printed by facebook’s internationalization library cannot perform an XSS attack, and, like the other dude said, removing all markup from the translation is trivial.

alert(“See? :)”);

LOL!

Wow… that’s just something else. I bet someone used some type of javascript to do that :)

This was a 4chan-esque attack by Turkey’s 4chan, that is incisozluk.

Incisozluk is a wiki-like discussion forum, essentially.

Racism is so American. You should be proud.

That’s actually a suggested friend.

That’s what you get when you do not want to pay translators to do a professional job. Not only translators but other people like yourself are all working for free for them plus risking having their privacy neglected online.

I have Facebook set to Dutch, and it told me to go to hell in Spanish a while ago (vai á merda, literally “go to shit”).
