Posted a Link to a FB page

It posted just fine and then when I looked again the link is in a foreign language - why ? the page is English ?

Link previews are fetched from your server, so most likely your server is located in a German-speaking country and thus Facebook is choosing to provide German pages to it.
 
Yeah so we are getting this from when XF tries to unfurl a FB share url, like facebook.com/share/p/....

Media embeds work normally, they are parsed correct. But those urls return cyrillic/russian language previews even though our servers are in Finland. And this behavior is on both 2.2 and 2.3.6 too. If this is mostly on FB end, is there something to mitigate on XF side?
