Why is my Facebook partially in Chinese? Not feeling too comfortable with leftover Chinese data in my browser…

English is my set language btw. There should be no reason Chinese should be showing up.
Do you click links to FB often? It’s entirely possible that FB has a slightly different link for Chinese language users and maybe you’ve clicked that.
In fact I googled it and it’s “zh-cn.Facebook.com” for traditional Chinese. It could be that your browser is defaulting to this instead of “www” for some reason if you’ve navigated the zh-cn version recently.
As for your fears… you’re letting some weird prejudice or something like that win over logic. Meta 100% already sells your information to Chinese buyers. And a website doesn’t need to be written in Chinese to be Chinese owned and operated anyway. I’m not sure what you think is happening but you should probably take off the tinfoil hat.
The world is broken enough in reality, no need to scare yourself to death over things made up in your head.
Is it still in Chinese if you change browsers ?
Just so we know if the problem’s browser- or Facebook-related.
Had the same problem on my phone on chrome. Logged into Facebook and it was just Chinese with broken English and trying to change it back would just make it buggy.
Goto the URL opera://setting/content/all, type facebook.com in the search field and click “clear displayed content”. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear “cached images and files” for all time. Then, log back in and see how things go.
I would also goto the URL opera://extensions and make sure you don’t have any weird extensions installed. If you still have the problem, disable your extensions one by one to see if one is the culprit.
Does it happen when you log into Facebook in a private window?
Wouldn’t hurt to scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes though.
Long ago when I still had a facebook account, it had been hacked and turned into a chinese girl’s profile. I imagine it was for scamming. Change your password.
Slantys are like “me Chinese me hack you stupid Amewican hehe”

Just some Chinese words goddam…
“Leftover Chinese data” 
You are probably opening it from a link or a saved book mark I would think. Look at the actual address in your link or book mark either way and delete whatever is after local in the address. It will likely have something like =cz_CH or such. Delete that and hit enter. It should fix it. Then resave the link or bookmark.
Hi, I’m having this issue now as well but on my iPhone and on Opera I haven’t attempted another web browser but it’s odd and confusing. If anyone has a fix please lmk
idk if this still happens to you but this happened to me recently (i have notihng sensitive on my computer its def not spyware) ur just gonna simply go to the link and you should see it ends with zh_HK you want to change that to us_HK and it will go back to english, tbh idk how i got on the chinese version or how it happened but after you do it once you just keep going to the same link on accident so yeah just fix it to us_HK
This happened to me after I installed AliExpress on my phone, my phone has access to my Google sign in records etc. When I opened the browser on my computer and went to the facebook site it was in a mobile phone format and had Chinese language. Not using a VPN at the time. I have read that the app could get access to the google profile through the phone. Some people have created a ‘Work’ profile on their phone separate from their Google personal sign in info etc and installed the apps they don’t trust on that profile to make sure their personal sign in info is secured.
I receive both! Anytime I get a response on FB, it comes up with both English and Chinese. I know it’s Chinese language and I’ve already looked at my settings. It’s set for English only. My phone is an Apple 14+. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks
Dealing with this CRAP right now!! Facebook suddenly switched to Chinese while I was just browsing. My settings are still on English. HELP!!
“Leftover Chinese data”
Ok tinfoil hat bro
If your using the web version—- I’ve also had it happen where some words are in different languages, what i found is if you look at the URL, there is something that needs to be taken off or changed. I don’t really remember but look at it and see if it looks odd.
