* It was bothering me that everything on my site was localized except Facebook
content, so I decided to localize that as well. I used the XFBML version of Facebook
content, since the HTML5 versions don’t seem to accept a locale parameter, and
the iFrame versions (although supporting locale), didn’t work well in my site.
* First, you have to add a function to `config/functions.php` in the plug-in’s
directory:
* ```
function get_load_multilingual_language( ){
global $ps_multi_languages;
if ( $ps_multi_languages ){
$lang = $ps_multi_languages->get_multilingual_code(get_load_language() );
}
return $lang;
}
```
* I added this right after the `get_load_language` function. Next, I added the
following line right after the `bread_crumb` call in `header.php`:
* ``
* This retrieves the currently selected locale and converts ‘-‘ to ‘_’ because
that’s the only way Facebook accepts locale strings.
* Still in the `header.php`, add the following code after the `` tag:
* ```
```
* Finally, you can add a Facebook button/stream/whatever where you please, and
it will be localized. For example:
* ``
* A complete list of sample buttons and streams is available from [Facebook](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/subscribe/).
You can automatically generate the XFBML code for your site by filling in the
relevant data and getting the code. Not every language is currently supported.
* Note that all of Twitter’s generated code snippets are automatically localized,
as long as your site supports localization – no changes required.
* Hope this helps – please post if you have any questions. Note that because this
modifies `functions.php`, exercise caution when upgrading the plugin – you may
have to re-apply your changes.

* I think you should check the var_dump the $ selang, whether or not the value
is good matches.

* Wang; thanks for writing the plug-in – the admin interface is great! I’ll have
to try the iframe code as well; I’ll also var_dump $selang to make sure it’s
the right type.
* I also added code to append: “&lang=’ to the end of the Twitter and Facebook
parameters to make sure that links are sent using the users’ selected language.
The code is really easy:
* Twitter:
* `data-url=""`
* Facebook:
* `href=""`
* I should create another thread for the following question, but I’ll ask you here:
* Is there any chance that you can figure out a way to only display comments for
a particular language?
* I’m stuck where everyone else who have tackled the problem seems to be: I can
store language metadata with the comment and can filter the comments based on
language, but the comment counts and comment page functionality only consider
ALL comments – not just comments for a particular language.
* So for example, if a German user looks at a post, it says that there are 3 comments,
but because they are all in English, no comments appear. If there are enough
filtered comments, “Next” appears, even though there aren’t any comments displayed!
Comment count processing seems to be buried deep in the query and comment classes.
* If there’s enough interest, I’ll create a separate thread.
* Any suggestions would be appreciated!
