With news reports stating about how Iranian protesters have been using Twitter as a way to relay events, Google and Facebook have both rushed to add Iranian language support on their respective websites. Both are adding Persian translation services on the sites as a way to help Iranians communicate to other parts of the world.

Most have been created in Persian with English speakers unable to read the content. Facebook was able to quickly offer translation by enlisting the aid of hundreds of Persian speakers.
