In that case let's try to change the website language first. Then change on FB.

Look for the browser menu located in the top menu bar. It is usually represented by three horizontal lines or a menu icon.

Click on the menu icon to open the browser settings menu. It may appear as "Preferences," "Settings," or a similar option.
