AddThis supports localization in many languages. By default the language used is determined by the user’s browser settings so you don’t have to do anything to provide localized tools to your users.
Note: Content you add to the tools, such as related post titles and audience targeting messages will not be automatically localized.

Overriding Default Localization
If you would like to override a user’s default browser localization, you can use this code to specify the two-letter code from the table above. Just add this anywhere on the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = addthis_config||{};
addthis_config.lang = 'es' //show in Spanish regardless of browser settings;
</script>
