How to make a like button localised i.e J'taime instead of LIKE

Social Media

Hi there

I am using the facebook tab app where I have a single image with a LIKE button positioned absolutely onto of the image. When clicked it counts the like and redirects the user to the ‘reveal tab’ content. All is working fine however i need the button to be displayed in French as its used on our french facebook page. I know you have to change the setting to be ‘French’ for the language in your account and this works for the like button that automatically gets displayed above the tab however the like button used inside the tab stays in English. Does anyone know how i can get the button to display in french.

This is the code I am using:

<img src=‘https://sites.google.com/site/test/facebook-kv.jpg’ />
<div style=“position: absolute; top: 645px; left: 342px;” width: 300px; height: 50px;>
<fb:like layout=“button_count” show_faces=“false” width=“50” />
</div>
<div style=“position: absolute; top: 645px; left: 342px;” width: 300px; height: 50px;>
<fb:like layout=“button_count” show_faces=“false” width=“50” />
</div>

Many thanks

The text is embedded in the button. You simply need a model designed in French.

You will have to change your js file to use the language you want. Then Like, Recommend and other text will be localized

Sample code is below for German (//connect.facebook.net/de_DE/all.js)

<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: ‘your App ID here’, status: true, cookie: true,
xfbml: true});
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement(‘script’);

    e.type = 'text/javascript';
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
      '//connect.facebook.net/de_DE/all.js';
    e.async = true;

    document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
  }());

</script>
