Hi,
I have installed your google news plugin into my site and inserted it as short code, and selected the pt-PT_pt (Portugal) code. But it thous not display the portuguees news but the english ones. do you know what can be the probleem?
Tanks
Bruno.

I tested the shortcode with portuguees news and – at first – it did not work to me too (also other languages as a matter of fact) then after a few minutes everything worked as expected…sometimes Google plays strange tricks…can you please try it again and let me know if your outcome keeps being in English?

You welcome. Would you let me know on what news site you have been installing it? Thanks.
Posted by: Stef | February 16th, 2012 14:42
Sorry Jaap but Thailand is not among the countries Google collects news from. The list of the countries is determined by Google News not by me. Thanks for your interest in the plugin, though. Maybe you can enter “Thailand” into the keyword(s) textbox instead?

Not sure what you are asking here Kapil. This plugin displays the very same Google News which are displayed in Google News. Google provide these news both as webcontent and as RSS feeds. You can see the Google News also via the socalled “rss feeds aggregators”. Have I answered your question? If not please write me again.
