How to Add Facebook Like Button & Like Box for Different Languages
|The Facebook Like Button and Like Box can easily be added to any page in over 100 languages but the trouble is that the default display is in English.
Here’s the deal:
To specify the language you want, you simply need to include the “locale” parameter with the desired language value.
Here is a quick hack to display the Like Button and Like box in other languages using the iFrame.
1. Copy the Like Button code:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?
app_id=185800681493185&href=YOUR WEB PAGE&send=false
&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=false&
action=like&colorscheme=light&font&height=35"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none;
overflow:hidden;width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency=
"true"></iframe>
and change the “locale” paramater (for your language):
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php? locale=it_IT&app_id=185800681493185&href=YOUR WEB PAGE &send=false&layout=standard&width=450& show_faces=false&action=like&colorscheme=light& font&height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style= "border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
For displaying the Like Box in other languages, make the following changes.
2. Copy the Like Box code:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?
href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FYOUR FACEBOOK PAGE&
width=292&colorscheme=light&show_faces=false&
border_color&stream=false&header=false&height=62"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:
hidden;width:292px; height:62px;" allowTransparency="true">
</iframe>
and change the “locale” parameter (for your language):
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php? locale=it_IT&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE&width=292&colorscheme=light& show_faces=false&border_color&stream=false& header=false&height=62"scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden;width:292px; height:62px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Now:
The “locale” parameter can be set for any of the following 108 languages/locales:
