I am working on a Spanish language website and would like to know if there is a way to make the ShareThis module work in Spanish.

If not, is there another module that has similar functionality but in Spanish?

Thanks very much!

Well, nobody got back to me on this but it seems that the AddThis button (http://drupal.org/project/addthis) may be a better choice as it detects what country a user is browsing from and translates the content automatically to that country's native language. This still doesn't really solve my problem because I am building a Spanish language site in the US so for Spanish speakers in the US, the text will still be in English... so I still have to see if there are Spanish translation .po files available for this module. It also appears to be a lot more customizable in terms of layout so I think I will give AddThis a try instead of ShareThis anyway.

Incidentally, the new ShareThis widget will be language compatible within the next quarter. Keep an eye out for it.

2.5 years later, ShareThis is still not usable for languages other than English.

Applied patch. Doesn't have any impact. Tried it on a D7.31 site with English and French. ShareThis buttons remain in English regardless of which language is selected.

I suspect that ShareThis is caching things heavily on their end. Come back in a day and see if it's different.

@navneet0693: Hi, glad that this is active again after couple of years. Thanks for your efforts. Can you please check why the patch failed? I have checked the patch you have submitted and IMHO, I think, there is no need of additional variable $lang_code. What do you think?

@bhavikshah9 yup you are right ! There should be no need of that. I will re-work on it to remove the code. The patched failed because, there is no tests written for this module in D7 version.
