im using the facebook widget for wordpress by: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-pagelike-widget/
on my blog, but I would like to translate or change the text that currently says "Find us on Facebook". Is that posible?
Ive search through the plugin folder and its files but im not experienced enough or its just not there. please help if posible.
In the plugin folder you can edit the file named fb.js on line 7:
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId="+appid;
Change en_US to the locale you want. The full list of available Facebook locales can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/translations/FacebookLocales.xml
The problem with doing this will be the locale will switch back to en_US if you install an update to the plugin. I would get your own embed code from Facebook (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/) and paste it into your theme or a HTML widget for your sidebar.

I successfully implemented facebook comments plugin in my website.But it only allows users to post only text data.
I searched a lot but unable to find resources for these question:
How to add upload Image feature to this plugin?
Is there a way to make the uses post he comment just by pressing enter rather than clicking Post button(Remove Post button and make enter keyboard key as default submit button)
Incase the ans is No for any above questions:
Please suggest any plugin's that helps me to achieve those features. The users should be able to post comments and upload images with out signup to that plugin providers
How to add upload Image feature to this plugin?
Not possible.
Facebook has not implemented image upload for the Comments plugin, and you can not “add” anything to it yourself.
Is there a way to make the uses post he comment just by pressing enter rather than clicking Post button(Remove Post button and make enter keyboard key as default submit button)
No.
There is not configuration option for this, and since the plugin runs inside an iframe from a different domain, you don’t have any access to it via JavaScript either.
As of Sept 2010 FB has an "add image" icon on the FB plugin, but it does not work all the time. Last night it worked fine on 20 or so pages, and today on 5 more. Then just now, on a recently modified page, it no longer works. Text only.
from any country i am accessing the website i see the widget in Russian language
on link: website
the widget on the on the bottom is facebook widget.
anyone run into this same problem?
You are not the only one. There was a thread about his exact problem on the Wordpress Support site
The iframe src attribute on that site contain locale=uk_UA in the query string. If you have control of that, simply remove that field, and the widget locale will default to the user's browser setting.
Compare locale specified vs unspecified
I'm working on this site for a client http://mohamadelbialy.com/translate, the facebook page url is https://www.facebook.com/translateinegypt my OS is windows 8.1, IE version = 11.0.9600.16521, chrome version = 34.0.1788.0, firefox version = 28.0.
I used the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-box-for-pages to generate an Iframe like box and added the code through a WordPress text widget to show it on pages sidebar (intentionally doesn't show on homepage), if you click on any of the pages, there should be Fb like box on sidebar, however it shows only in IE and I get an empty space on both chrome and firefox.
Interestingly enough, I've done another site for a client two years ago and added fb like box with the same approach and it used to show just fine, now it gives the same results.
I've tried a couple of plugins like (simple fb plugin - official facebook plugin - and about 3 more) and tried adding the html5 and JDK code instead of Iframe but ended up with the same result.
It looks to me that something is going wrong with the fb-WordPress integration.
please let me know if you've any solution to this, I can't deliver the website to the client like this. any help will be appreciated.. thanks.
I've put like button on joomla site with cyrillic text:
http://womanew.kz/index.php/2011-10-22-01-42-12/2011-11-01-05-34-04/147-2011-11-07-06-22-02
When I push like button facebook's scraper incorrectly encodes the page.
Also I've created static test html page equal to this URL (http://womanew.kz/test.html), and it scrapes well.
All two pages have equal content, but the problem page is generated from Joomla PHP script.
Also I've noticed that scraper reencodes not full document (it keeps head block unchanged), please see its "See exactly what our scraper sees for your URL" debuging page on facebook.
What can I do to struggle this problem?
When I did this I use this manual and didn't have such problem. This is for Joomla website:
1.Go to the Facebook developer page here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box
2.Enter the page number (found in your Facebook page URL) of your Facebook page.
3.If you don't have one, go to Facebook Create Page wizard and create a Brand >> Website page for your site.
4.Enter the height (typically 400 pixels) that you want for the Like widget
5.Click the Get Code button to generate the Facebook Code.
6.Open the Joomla Administrator on your site
7.Navigate to the Module Manager
8.Click the New button
9.Select Custom HTML
10.Paste the code into the HTML box (make sure the editor is turned off).
11.Give the module a name
12.Click the Hide Title radio button
13.Select the Module Position where you want the widget to appear
14.Click Save
Also, take a look at http://www.abolkog.com/portal/tutorials-how-to/100-how-to-add-a-facebook-like-box-to-your-joomla-site
Hope, it will help you!
I've found a bug in the site. One of joomla's modules was truncating UTF-8 strings in byte boundaries and this was created one-byte bug character in the page, after this character scraper starts using incorrect encoding.
I am using the XFBML Facebook like button on my german website.
The locales were changed to de_DE to display "Gefällt mir" and it worked for some days.
But now it is ignoring the locales and everybody sees "Like".
I can not figure out why it has changed.
The used code is the same as before.
The used web server is located in germany.
My facebook account is set to german language.
What else could have an effect?
I have found my mistake...
My CMS also uses the possibility to login using a FB account.
For that it loads the javascript sdk again in the footer of the page.
This version was set to en_US!
which version of the javascript sdk u are loading in your page that contains the like button?
make sure you are loading the de_DE version
