Multi-lingual support

There are two ways how to change disqus locales:

1. To switch on auto selecting disqus language based on Laravel app locale:

in app/config/packages/d-te/laravel-disqus/config.php set

  'auto_set_language' => true,

1. Set locale manually in template:

	 			'ua' => 'uk',
	 			'fr' => 'fr_CA',
