Make Facebook post in multiple languages using API

Question

I'm developing a script that will create a Facebook post on our FB page for each blog post that we publish on our website. Since our blog posts are translated into multiple languages, I'd like to take advantage of multi-language posts on Facebook. I know how to create those posts on the FB website (https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10151544094843003), but I cannot find a way to do this with the API.

This is how I create a regular post:

POST https://graph.facebook.com/546349135390552/feed?message=Message&link=www.abc.de

I've also found out how to localize Open Graph objects (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guides/internationalization/), but a post in a feed is not an Open Graph object I think.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Unfortunately looks like there is no way for now (or I am missing something):

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v7.0/page/feed
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/publishing/

I've just found this and pretty curious how Facebook is holding that back. Well, I can understand the reason actually, but not sure why community is not forcing this. Facebook describe themselves as open minded and free for every opinion, free from censorship, but on practice it's only when convenient for the social network.

Their publishing tools are terrible and as a publisher I want posts to be published in one click from one endpoint rather that opening each social network and spend a lot of time of manual work. A bit of coding can save tons of time for publishers, but NO!

P.S. Let's push Facebook to open this kind of API finally. It's 2020 already!
