The popular social network from Google, Orkut is facing troubles again in Brazil. Orkut is extremely popular here in India and also Brazil. Orkut has been through a lot of legal troubles in the past, but this one in Brazil seems to be the biggest so far. Well the story is quite interesting, here’s what has been happening in Brazil so far.

A Law professor in Sao Paulo, Brazil noticed Pornographic images on Orkut, and some of the pictures went as far as child pornography. The lawyer decided to take screenshots of this, because the images were occurring next to the ads that Google was running on Orkut and released a report on the illegal activities that take place on the Social networking site.

About 10 days back I made a post regarding the introduction of new languages in Orkut. I Made a screencast thinking that it will be easier for Orkut users to change their Language. Apparently the Screencast didn’t come out as well as I expected it to come, so a lot of users had trouble in getting their language changed.

So I have made another screencast where things are definitely cleaner and are easily visible unlike the previous demo.

Trying out the new Languages on Orkut is really simple and here are the instructions for it :

• 1. Click the settings button under your profile photo (or click the blue settings link at the top of any page).

• 3. Click save changes.
