Safari ONLY displays Facebook in foreign language regardless of language set in Facebook.

Your particular images are not actually a foreign language, but a bad font. Try going to the Font Book app settings and doing Reset Fonts, and restart your machine.

Interesting, when I change Safari to desktop version when I open Facebook it’s in English but if I change it back to mobile it’s in German. (I’m guessing on language I think it’s German)

I don’t have a solution, but I’m adding to the ME TOO (including info.)I am also having this problem on my iphone (ios 17.2.1). I am not presently signed into FB, I went to a public FB page from an organization’s website through Safari - so FB is therefore asking if I want to sign in, and it’s all in Malay? Never heard of this language before this. I do use a VPN occasionally but it has not been turned on during this.

No Google search or community site OR Apple support could fix this - but I figured it out:

Ok - Here’s the fix

• Go to Safari settings on ios.
• Scroll down and change the web browser setting from mobile to desktop view.
• the desktop view of the FB login page will still be in a foreign language however on this same login page in the middle of the page see small print where you are able to choose/change language back to English.
• Make sure you go back into ios Safari settings and change the “desktop” browser setting back to mobile.

🤣🤣🤣. Ummmm ya! They were about as clear and concise as directions could be so I’m a bit concerned for anyone out there who’s unable to decipher them. lol

But seriously, you are on my hero list for the year because it was a huge pain in my arse for waaaaay too long. And then I read your post , deploy your easy to understand instructions, and then just like that , all was right with the world again ;). At least as far as FB was concerned !!

Thank you!!!!! You rock my socks. That totally worked! And I’ve been searching for months. You’re awesome !

OMG! You could actually follow my instructions? This fact alone makes my day.

So appreciative for your kind and enthusiastic response.
