You can use this in Joomla extensions where you need to get the current language locale for example to use with Facebook Connect/Like plugins etc. in the "en_US" format. With facebooj JS, all you have to do is replace the default locale with the resulting variable something like this:

 e.src = document.location.protocol +'//connect.facebook.net/<?=$locale?>/all.js';

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Title
                                        

                                    

                                    
Get Joomla language locale for use with Facebook js/fbml etc. on multilingual sites
