I realize when i try to publish a twit embed with WordPress, it was showing it in wrong language.. as german! Seems twitter is trying to decide language depending on your server’s location because my server is in Germany so twit embeds were in german language. Here is proper fix:
add_filter( 'oembed_fetch_url', 'firmasite_oembed_twitter_lang', 10, 3 );
function firmasite_oembed_twitter_lang( $provider, $url, $args ) {
if ( 'twitter.com' == parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_HOST ) ) {
$lang = explode("-", get_bloginfo('language'));
$provider = add_query_arg( 'lang', urlencode( $lang[0] ), $provider );
}
return $provider;
}
Wow, working fine! Thanks a lot!!!
You’re welcome :)
Hi,
Super newbie here. I know this goes in fuctions.php but what text do I change to make it specific to my website in order to get english?
Thanks!
You dont need to change anything. That code is looking to blog’s language and using it for twitter language. If you change your language, it will change twitter’s display language too :)
Thanks for the solution.
This was a problem I had fixed for author twitter links but I still had a problem with embedded links within WordPress posts.
WordPress seem to be ignoring this problem on their feedback boards so I hope they implement your fix in the next update.
I dont think they will implement this anytime soon because there is no “wordpress” way to get language code atm. We are splitting
get_bloginfo('language')which is a php way rather then a wordpress way
