Closed RC1: Tweet button does not change even if it is translated

[soloarquitectura]

In Spanish "Tweet" = "Twittear".

 

[Paul B]

That's an iFrame so it can't be translated.

It would need language locale integration to display in the forum language.

That button is taken from Twitter. Not from xenForo.
There also is no way (yet) to take the language from twitter there. (I am not sure, but I think)

If language/locale is passed in the parameters of iFrame then we might possibly get translations provided by Twitter, same might be applied on Facebook like button.

And the phrase "tweet"?

Please note the code (http://twitter.com/about/resources/tweetbutton):

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

This phrase is probably used somewhere else. May be in admin CP.

Yes, but I don't think that's possible (yet).

If you do that, nothing happens.

<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

Yes, but when changing "Tweet" to something else in Firebug, that same "Tweet" stays.
I don't know what the Tweet is for

 

[ibnesayeed]

data-lang is the attribute to pass the locale. And luckily they have Spanish.

Consider modifying the template.

That phrase is shown if you have javascript disabled:

 

[soloarquitectura]

Ok, ok, ok. Thanks

The code for Spanish:
<a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-lang="es">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>

Had just found that out too
Cool eh

EDIT: Now it's the devs that gotta make it ML, because with facebook it is translated via fb_channel.php

Not a bug. But a good suggestion for RC2

Or, they could simply add in a box for "language" like so;

This is not the preferred way as it will lock it down to one language. There are multi-lingual forums with dynamic language selection option (and yes, XF supports it).

I don't think it is that difficult for the DEVS to create a simple {locale} thingee to use in the code
