Hi! /editprofile/friendfinder "Invite to LibraryThing" is using / posting hard coded subdomains at Facebook so far.
There are two suggestions.
a) It should be possible to invite to another language via a selector box. Example you are logged in to German LT and want to post an invitation to Icelandic LT. The link at Facebook will be http://is.librarything.com .
b) You want to post an invitation and visitors might come either to the default www subdomain or stay to the LT subdomain of their choice they are logged in already. That one could be identified by a cookie and a procedure which needs to be implemented first.
Benefits: Wherever links to LT are used on external pages http://librarything.com/ foo would keep you in your subdomain. I assume that because a majority of the active users / active English talk users aue using the http://www.librarything.com/ subdomain they do not figure out what a pain it is to change all urls manually.
This idea goes back to 2010: Please see http://librarything.com/topic/101144 "joker" domain / "joker" urls (LT Internationalization, Internationalisation)
This is not about LT inline domain linking using /topic/101144 syntax.

> 1 b) This has to deal also with bookmarks. I assume that you do not like to have more then one bookmark for an author (with exceptions for problems or test cases). It is a pain to change subdomains for thousends of bookmarks when you are working on CK with another langauge.

This RSI would require that all urls and all LT parameters are identical / stable for all languages. I have ssen both:
a) localized LT parameters as mentioned in /topic/134613
b) localized LT urls as mentioned in /topic/135300#3329358
