Like Box widget and Send button showing up in Cyrillic

  • I installed the Facebook widget yesterday and it seemed to be working fine. However, shortly after I did some rearranging of widgets on my sidebar, some of the text is showing up in Cyrillic! I tried deleting and reinstalling it, turning off Transposh, checking the default language in Firefox and facebook/facebook.php, emptying WP Super Cache– can’t figure it out.

    You can see at the lower right sidebar of our site
    here.

    Thanks so much!

    The Facebook plugin for WordPress loads a language-specific version of the Facebook JavaScript SDK based on your Facebook locale information.

    If your WordPress site is configured as English but you are seeing Cyrillic it’s also possible there is another version of the Facebook JavaScript SDK loading before the Facebook plugin for WordPress version. View source on the page and search for “connect.facebook.net” to find other references that might include a non en_US value.

    Thank you so much for your reply, Niall!

    I looked for connect.facebook.net in the source and indeed found another reference. The relevant parts follow:

    <link href="https://mysite.com/mysitefolder/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon">
<link href="//connect.facebook.net" rel="dns-prefetch">
<link href="https://mysite.com/mysitefolder/xmlrpc.php?rsd" title="RSD" type="application/rsd+xml" rel="EditURI">
<link href="https://mysite.com/mysitefolder/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" rel="wlwmanifest">
<meta content="WordPress 3.4.2" name="generator">
<style type="text/css">
<meta content="Neighborhood School Parents' Association" property="og:site_name">
<meta content="website" property="og:type">
<meta content="hi_IN" property="og:locale">
<meta content="Neighborhood School Parents' Association" property="og:title">
<meta content="building strong families in the Bronx, NY" property="og:description">
<meta content="https://mysite.com/mysitefolder" property="og:url">
<script id="facebook-jssdk" async="" src="https://connect.facebook.net/hi_IN/all.js">

    I turned off every plugin except for Facebook and Pixopoint Theme Integrator (without which my site crashes) and we still have the problem with the foreign locale– which briefly was the US again before it became Indonesia, where it is now stuck.

    You can see in the following line that something is setting my locale and this is being reflected in the Facebook plugin. I am not sure what or why!
    <meta content="hi_IN" property="og:locale">

    Would very much appreciate any suggestions you have.

    P.S. When I turn on the Facebook plugin, Firebug finds the following error:

    SyntaxError: syntax error
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//E

    from line 1 of my header.
    Lines 1 and 2 of my header are:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

    I don’t know if this is related. The error disappears when I deactivate Facebook. Also, the site works fine except for the wrong-language buttons.
