Thank You.

Just to check , if I change item.php as You told me then facebook "like" button will be in german on german pages and in english language on english pages.
Is that correct?

Don't forget to make an if statement and check the language.
Try this:

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$locale = $lang->getTag();

if ($locale=='de-DE'):
include the facebook button with the change I suggested for the script block;
else :
leave the default facebook button code.
endif;

Hi,

I am also trying to get this to work!

The Twitter button changes automatically into other languages but I cannot get the facebook text to change.

I must be putting in the the code wrong :blush:

Any help appreciated!

WOOHOOO!

Finally got it to work. Thank you Yiota for pointing me in the right direction.

I hope this helps someone else.

NOTE: This is for a 4 language site with spanish being the default language and catalan, english and french as the other languages so you will have to alter language codes and remove the blocks that you don't want. the default language is in the last block after the <?php else: ?>

First I added

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$locale = $lang->getTag();

Right under
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

near the top of item.php

Then find the code between

<div id="fb-root"></div>
and
<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-width="200" data-show-faces="true"></div>

at around line 320 and replace the code with this



<?php if ($locale=='es-ES'): ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/es_ES/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($locale=='ca-ES'): ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/ca_ES/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($locale=='fr-FR'): ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/fr_FR/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

<?php else: ?>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<?php endif; ?>


I don't know if this is the correct way to do it but it works!

I tried the same thing but it doesnt work.

Can You please paste Your item.php code here,just code between <!-- Facebook Button --> and <!-- Google +1 Button -->

It would help me a lot.

This is where I inserted

$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$locale = $lang->getTag();

Just as You did

Mybe You can see here what I did wrong

Looks ok,
Are you sure you have added the languages in the content section of the language manager?

The $locale of any language is not with an underscore put with a dash. What I mean is that instead of $locale=='de_DE' you should have $locale=='de-DE'.

Hi,
Can be this done also for google+ button?
