title: Facebook Pages — Authoritative List of Categories
body: <p>I'm trying to find out about a Facebook user's interests based on pages they like, etc. It would be useful to have the list of possible page categories. I have made a rough list based on the dropdown menus from the page creation form, but the values in this are slightly different to those returned by the Graph API (e.g. "Sports_teams" as opposed to "Sports team").</p>
  
  <p>So, what I'd like to know is:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Where can I find a complete list of available categories, in the form that I'll see them when I query the Graph API?</li>
  <li>Are these strings localised? If so, where can I find the en_GB ones?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>

  <p>BTW, my list of categories is:</p>
