Why is Safari displaying other language rather than English?

hi all,

i've been having this problem for a while now, and i can't seem to find any solution(s) online. hoping that someone could help me out.

whenever i open up facebook contents through safari, it always display in another language. this is the Malay language, and although i live here, i do not understand the written language.

i've set everything to english, and english only. but i'm not sure why contents in safari always turn up in Malay. this happens to all my mobile devices - iPhones & iPads.

does anyone here know how i can read everything in English again?

please help.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.2.1

hello kiltedtim,

yes, i did. i change everything to one single language - which is english. but safari on my iphone & ipad is still displaying the Malay language. i even turned off location services on my iphone for safari websites. i even changed my region format to UK.

yet, it still happens.

even when i open a website through facebook app (or any app), contents are always displayed in Malay.

Safari doesn't have a choice in the matter. it displays whatever the server you're connected to (in this case, Facebook) tells it to display. Change your settings in Facebook.
