A language-specific name is the name that you used to sign up for Facebook, translated into another language. If someone uses Facebook in the same language as your language-specific name, they'll see your language-specific name in your profile, search results, posts, comments and photo tags. You'll also see your language-specific name if you use Facebook in that language. Here are some examples of language-specific names:
| Name Used at Sign-Up | Language-Specific Name |
|---|---|
| Hanako Yamada | 山田花子 |
| Chen WeiJie | 陳偉傑 |
| Young Hee Kim | 김영희 |
| Marina Petrova | Марина Петрова |

If you're having trouble adding your language-specific name, it might be because the name you requested doesn't follow our name standards. Keep in mind that the language-specific name should be your authentic name in that language as it would be listed on your credit card or student ID. If you've read our name policies and think that your name was rejected by mistake, let us know.
