Hi,

I’m getting reports from some UK based users that the Facebook Like plugin is showing up in a different language (it’s showing as ‘Reccomendar’ rather than ‘Recommended’ which I believe is Spanish). I’ve asked the user to check their IP address which shows as a UK based IP, so I’m not sure why it would be showing in Spanish.

I am unable to reproduce this but I wondered if it is possible to manually force it to use the english language locale? I’ve tried editing the URL string however I can’t seem to get the right syntax.

to use English language, you must add this parameter to share url

locale=en_US

Eg: your current code is

<iframe src=”http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=…..”>

You must change it to

<iframe src=”http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?locale=en_US&href=….”>

You can read detail information:

A languages list is defined at this page

How do I change the below code from file:

plugins/content/plg_jafacebooklike.php

From:

'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';

To:

'//connect.facebook.net/??a variable to auto detect the current language of the site??/all.js';

Hi you can do like this

$fbScript = 'http://connect.facebook.net/' . str_replace ( '-', '_', JFactory::getLanguage ()->getTag () ) . '/all.js#xfbml=1';
$doc = & JFactory::getDocument ();
$doc->addScript ( $fbScript );


Thank you
