How do I add or edit a language-specific name?

Language-specific names are only available in a few languages. Learn how to add or edit another name (example: nickname, maiden name) to your profile.

A language-specific name is your Facebook name 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.

If you're having trouble adding your language-specific name, it might be because the name you requested doesn't follow Facebook name standards. Keep in mind that the language-specific name should be the name you go by in everyday life. Your language-specific name should also look the same on Facebook as it does on things like a magazine subscription, ID or membership card.

If you've read facebook name policies and think that your name was rejected by mistake, inform Facebook.
