[SOLVED] Facebook API - Chinese Characters

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi everyone.
There’s a LIKE button which is redirecting to facebook page of our game in browser.
I used this code :

system.openURL( “http://www.facebook.com/fartygame” )

When i pressed the button, its redirecting to correct page but it is a Chinese (or Japanese im not sure:) version of our facebook fan page ! Everything looks okay but all native facebook texts are in Chinese language.

I’ve got the same problem when I’m posting something to facebook wall with this code :
facebook.request( “me/feed”, “POST”, postMsg )

Whats wrong about it? Do you have any idea?

Thanks. [import]uid: 111666 topic_id: 26340 reply_id: 326340[/import]

Does your own/test FB account have any settings for languages other than English? I’ve not seen this before and regularly use post from apps. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 26340 reply_id: 106894[/import]

Its really interesting problem:) No I don’t have any different language setting on my fb app.
Also I’ve got the same issue when the app is redirecting to a facebook page. (i said that because there is no relation between my application and a fan page on facebook.) [import]uid: 111666 topic_id: 26340 reply_id: 106902[/import]

Very strange indeed - I just built and tested an app containing only;
[lua]system.openURL( “http://www.facebook.com/fartygame” )[/lua]
and that didn’t give me any Chinese at all on the page.

I am very unsure on how this is supposed to work; I have added Facebook to a lot of apps (50+) and have never seen it before. I don’t know what it is based on, the language setting - I’d have thought it would be your location (if not signed in) or your FB language setting otherwise.

Do you have more than one device you might test on, out of interest? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 26340 reply_id: 107067[/import]

Hi Peach!
Thanks for your all advices. The problem solved but I’ve got no idea about how i did :slight_smile: I’m sure, it’s not a Coron SDK problem. It should be a location or fb settings problem as you mentioned above.

I tried lots of ways to handle with it. After 1 day, i tried to press “Like” button on our application again! , and it redirected to correct language version of Facebook. :slight_smile:

Thanks again for your help Peach.
