Is there a way to receive the 'activity stories' in a different language than english?


Facebook finally allows to fetch the activity stories of a user (which means these small post that indicate what a user is doing, e.g. "X is now friends with Y"). But when I query these from the feed, they are always in english. Neither the users locale nor the app locale on facebook has any effect on that.

Is there a way to specify a certain language when querying a users feed/activity stories?

(I really have the feeling I'm missing a search keyword here, since I found nobody asking for that at all)


Solution

  • Don't know why it ignores the locale in the first place (does that for me, too) - but you can override the locale like this:

    https://graph.facebook.com/me/posts?locale=de_DE <- will convert all stories to German for example.
