Description
Hi there,
According to the AddThis website, to get the menu to show up in your own language, you need to specify a javascript var:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_language = "zh";
</script>...but there doesn't seem to be an option for setting that var in the admin settings.
I can override theme_addthis_button() and manually enter the language, but perhaps this should be a menu option? Or perhaps it should be a value taken from a Drupal site's (or the current page's) language settings, in order to be really useful for multilingual sites.
Or am I missing something somewhere in the code/settings page?
Cheers,
Stephen

No, you are right. There is currently no smart way to set the language. This feature will be added in future releases. I think it should always default to same language as current page since we want to also support multilanguage sites.

I just had another look at this. Does anybody want to implement this to support both multi-language sites, official addthis.com translations and custom translations? This should be quite simple thing to implement, but I just don't have the time before June.
