How to get App data from Graph API when user has access to the app

I want to know how i can access to my app data (title and description) when the user has access to it and get the localized values using the user locale.

My code is this:

    var imageUrl = "http://mysite.test/webroot/img/test_image.jpg",
        userID = response.authResponse.userID,
        userLanguage,
        appTitle,
        appDescription;

    if (response.status === 'connected') {

        FB.api(
            "/" + userID,
            function (response) {
                if (response && !response.error) {
                    userLanguage = response.locale;
                }
            }
        );

        FB.api(
            'me/{namespace}:{action}', 'post', 
            {
                object: {
                    "url": imageUrl,
                    "title": appTitle,
                    "description": appDescription,
                    "image": imageUrl
                }
            },
            function(response) {

            }
        );

    } else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {

        FB.login( function( response ) {
        }, {scope: "publish_actions"} );

    } else {

        FB.login( function( response ) {
        }, {scope: "public_profile"} );
    }

I tried to use this code, but the /me node returns the user data and i want to get the app data:

FB.api(
    "/me",
    function (response) {
      if (response && !response.error) {
        /* handle the result */
      }
    }
);

You can get the User's locale with

/me?fields=id,locale

Then you can use this locale in the second call for the app:

/{app_id}?fields=id,name,description&locale={locale}

should work. You need to know the app id and replace {app_id} with it. The locale parameter defines the locale for which you want to receive the data in.

Please be aware that it's not necessarily content in every locale available...

The list of locales can be found at https://www.facebook.com/translations/FacebookLocales.xml
