Hi!

I am running a site with two different languages using core joomla only.
So far everything switches between both languages quite well and I only had to use few overrides.
Every plugin/extension I use features multi language support, except disqus comments (so it seems).

There are a lot of languages available for the disqus comments plugin, but it wont do anything on language change in front end.
No matter which language the user chooses in front end, it always stays on the default language set in the plugins backend.

I think this must be quite an easy thing to get to work, but somehow I cant get it to work.

So any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

Hello Tobias,

Unfortunately by design only the plugin setting's language is being loaded.
github.com/joomlaworks/disqus-comments-for-joomla/blob/master/plugins/content/jw_disqus/jw_disqus.php#L215

It can be fairly easy to load the current language tag from Joomla!'s API docs.joomla.org/JFactory/getLanguage

Hi Krikor,

thank you for your help!

So I would only need to create an override and change $disqusLanguage to $lang->getTag()?

The scripts are not loaded from the override.
You could edit the lines I sent you.

So I tried to edit the php file you mentioned, but it seems to have no effect at all.

this.language = '{$disqusLanguage}';

I tried language name and tag. Even tried typing in the language "German", but nothing seems to work.

In fact, I could type in anything I want and it wont even break the script.

Gathering the current active language in joomla works as intended though. Changing the language in the plugin (joomla backend) also works.

What am I doing wrong? Did your solution work for you?

Can you send me a link to your site please?

Hi,

I wonder what the solution to the problem is?

I have a website in 5 languages and I would like Disqus to appear on each in their own language.
To do this, what code to paste this.language = '{$ disqusLanguage}'; instead?
Please describe the solution.

I use a code that always sets the language of the Facebook like button to the language of the page.
<?php echo str_replace("-", "_", JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag()); ?>
I tried to put it in, but it doesn't work here.

Thanks for the help
best regards

Thanks :) I try.

I tried but it doesn't work.
I tried this way, but nothing: $disqusLanguage = str_replace("-",  JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag());
Do you have another idea?

I have another problem.
Can the comment link on the category page be overwritten with php? This is important for a multilingual website. But if I overwrite it in another language, the text will still only appear in English. What is the solution?

I think this is php: <?php echo JText::_("JW_DISQUS_ADD_A_COMMENT"); ?>

   

I would like to display this text in multiple languages.

Thanks for the help
best regards
