Curl to Facebook oembed returning wrong language

Ok, so the embed facebook posts in my IPS forum started appearing in Arabic language.

So i entered the vps and did teh following:

Code:

curl https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video/oembed.json/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffacebook%2Fvideos%2F10153231379946729%2F

This was the result:

---

Code:

{"author_name":"Facebook","author_url":"https://www.facebook.com/facebook/","provider_url":"https://www.facebook.com","provider_name":"Facebook","success":true,"height":281,"html":"\u003Cdiv id=\"fb-root\">\u003C/div>\n\u003Cscript>(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"//connect.facebook.net/ar_AR/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\u003C/script>\u003Cdiv class=\"fb-video\" data-href=\"https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/\">\u003Cblockquote cite=\"https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\">\u003Ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/\">How to Share With Just Friends\u003C/a>\u003Cp>How to share with just friends.\u003C/p>\u062a\u0645 \u0646\u0634\u0631\u0647 \u0628\u0648\u0627\u0633\u0637\u0629 \u200f\u200e\u003Ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/facebook/\">Facebook\u003C/a>\u200e\u200f \u0641\u064a 5 \u062f\u064a\u0633\u0645\u0628\u0631\u060c 2014\u003C/blockquote>\u003C/div>","type":"video","version":"1.0","url":"https://www.facebook.com/facebook/videos/10153231379946729/","width":500}

TL: DR in the response above, there is this: connect.facebook.net/ar_AR/sdk.js

What setting may be causing Facebook to respond with ar_AR?

 

Inside of locale.conf i have this:

 

I don't think its related with facebook. I tried in other servers i have and its responding with us_US. It must be some kind of configuration. Strange.

 

Ok, if i do this, it works:

Code:

curl -H 'Accept-Language: pt' https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video/oembed.json/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffacebook%2Fvideos%2F10153231379946729%2F

Is there any way to force the Accept-Language in CURL? Or, where does CURL goes getting the language if we don't set any? I think my problem is there.

 

I have this:

Code:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I changed it to pt_PT UTF8, but its the same result.

 

I opened a ticket with them, but they told me its a server issue, which seems they are correct. I also suggested them they should add the accept-language parameter to curl, and even better, make it possible for us to choose the language.

 

Ok, with my suggestion, Invision now use the accept-language in the curl request.
They also applied it on my site and is working as intended now.

 

Ya, its one of the best things they have
