Facebook Graph API Gender

Question

Hi I have problem with Facebook Graph API. I'm using it in cordova with this plugin: https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4 (I think is not important)

The main problem is value gender. When system language is English I get following value:

gender: "male"

but when my system language is Czech I get following value:

gender: "muž"

and this is problem for me because I expecting for future work "male" or "female"

does anyone now how to figure it out and get always english?

Thanks for any answer

Answer 1

You just have to add the locale to the API call, it would be like this for english:

/me?fields=gender&locale=en_US

Or with the Cordova plugin:

facebookConnectPlugin.api('/me?fields=gender&locale=en_US', ...)

Answer 2

See this for more information about how to use the Graph API. Written under "Modifying API Requests":

locale
Used if your app needs the ability to retrieve localized content in the language of a particular locale (when available).

So try to set the locale parameter to english.
