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.
