Facebook login in cyrillic

when I use Chromium to access LT (main site) and I want to poi a review on Facebook, I have to reconnect to Facebook. Ok, that's a problem with Chromium and LT is innocent :-)

However, today I got the login prompt in some Cyrillic language - probably Russian, but I am not sure. See https://imgur.com/a/sVAhfRA . How could this have happened?

Are you seeing that language when using another browser? If not, then we know it's browser-related and can go from there.

>2 kristilabrie: I am using Chromium because with Firefox and Vivaldi I can't connect to Facebook anymore. Until today, however, the login panel was in English (I use English as language in my PC, and of course I never set anything in Russian...)

>3 .mau.: Okay, are you able to test this on Google Chrome browser or any other browser? If not, I'll see if there's anything we can do with Chromium (re: testing, reproducing, and/or fixing).

I just tried to log out of Facebook both on Chrome and on Chromium. Chromium still has cyrillic text, while Chrome shows it in Italian. The latter may make sense, since the interface I have on Chrome is in Italian; the former not, but since it is probably something browser-related I am closing the bug.

>5 .mau.: Hmm, sorry I couldn't be of more help here. Maybe there's something in your Chromium settings that has control over this, too? It sounds like it might be on the Facebook-side of things, but hard to say.

>6 kristilabrie: no idea at all. It seems strange that my Chromium picks up a language I never interact with, but who knows :-)

>7 .mau.: Definitely strange.
