I've just noticed this:
We havent got that many comments and likes to afford to split them in two for spanish and english. Our events are really multinational and multicultural and so we would like our comments to look. And likes, for sure, there is no language on liking something. I was fine with the XID system, but with URLs is not, I can manually ad the comments or likes with tags, but seems epic, plus, I have now to choose between the 2 or put both (look strange). I think it is interesting to develop in the future a way to configure this to use different boxes for the different languages or just share one for all. i.e. the english one.
Is there a easier way to do it that I am not aware of?
Thanks
Noa

Well, I am trying to manually add the tags for the likes to call the english like box in both languages, but no success.
Tried with href and url no luck, it doesnt show any likes at all. With the first one, the tag even shows on the site.
Even tried with the old XID, nothing.
Not sure why.
If I delete the tag and reactivate the plugin it shows the likes again.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a way to do this, even if if manually tedious or is it just impossible?

Sorry for the delayed response. If your'e changing the URL for the Like button, the count will reset to 0. So, we'd recommend standardizing on just one URL for your Like's.

From what I understand, you want 2 different comment boxes on each page, correct? You should be able to manually add the tag for each URL on the page like:
{JFBCComments href=http://site.com/en/link-to-page/ width=200}{JFBCComments href=http://site.com/fr/link-to-page/ width=200}

That should make 2 side-by-side comment boxes for 2 different URLs. I agree it's not going to be fun to do that on a lot of pages, but not sure a better way to do it. If your pages have 2 different languages and are on different URLs, Google, Facebook, and everything else will see them as separate. It makes sense that they'd each get their own individual comment box.

Hope that helps, but if you still can't get it, let us know.
