Description:
When the user is in an RTL language (Arabic), and proceeds to sync their Facebook account with their Contacts app, they will observe the Facebook activity display in Arabic, matching the phone's language. Afterwards, if they were to unsync this session and attempt to sync their Facebook account again, the user will observe Facebook display in English instead of the phone's native Arabic.

PreReq:
* phone is set to arabic
Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame to 20150514010203
2) Open the Contacts app
3) Sync a Facebook account to your Contacts
4) Unsync the account
5) Attempt to sync to Facebook a second time

Actual:
Facebook share browser now displays in English, instead of Arabic which would match the phone

Expected:
Facebook share browser always matches the language of the phone (Arabic)

[Derek Harris [:DerekH] - Dont need info. Last day 6/5/15]

Seems to have been around for a long time, However arabic was not supported on the device on 2.1 and 2.0. Possible issue with facebook rather than contacts. NI contacts owner for input on this issue.

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

From what I see in the network request, we don't specify the expected language:

> https://m.facebook.com/login.php?skip_api_login=1
> &api_key=$API_KEY
> &signed_next=1
> &next=https://m.facebook.com/v1.0/dialog/oauth?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Flogin_success.html
> &state=friends
> &scope=friends_about_me%2Cfriends_birthday%2Cfriends_hometown%2Cfriends_location%2Cfriends_work_history%2Cread_stream
> &response_type=token
> &client_id=$CLIENT_ID
> &ret=login
> &cancel_uri=https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html?error=access_denied
> &error_code=200
> &error_description=Permissions+error
> &error_reason=user_denied
> &state=friends#_=_
> &display=touch
> &_rdr

This looks like a problem on Facebook, do you agree Francisco?

Comment 3

[Francisco Jordano [:arcturus] [:francisco]]

Yes,

fb should get the language from the user agent, we shouldn't have to specify it.

Comment 4

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

In fact, Facebook should not get the language from the user agent, but possibly from the 

Accept-Language:	en,fr;q=0.7,en-US;q=0.3

HTTP headers.

So not sure it's relevant anymore. I will close this as INVALID.

But if you feel there's something to do about it, please make sure the right HTTP headers are sent and it's behaving differently in Chrome and Firefox Android.

Then switch to contactready and report to Facebook support team.
Thanks.
