I’ve been working on the og tags for our bilingual website; which uses a jquery slider to change languages (as well as changing the pages title on the fly) from English to Arabic.

All english pages are thus http://www.ourwebsite.com/page/#en (or just http://www.ourwebsite.com/page/, as English is the default) and all arabic pages are http://www.ourwebsite.com/page/#ar

The problem is that when i use the facebook linter, both the above pages give me the same response (which is the desired and correct one), but when i simply share them in facebook, the #ar pages give me what seems like the 1st paragraph of the arabic content as the page title (it also grabs the arabic description, which is an unintended but welcome quirk). What i want is for the #ar page to either behave exactly as the english page does when pasted in facebook sharer or just have the arabic description but the english/arabic title remain the same.

Here are the facebook debugger results for a sample page in each language:

As you see, they are identitical. However, pasting the second URL into facebook’s status gives a much different link preview title (basically its all the arabic page text content).

Any help is appreciated,

    I noticed that you don’t have the og:url tag in both the pages. Can you try and add the og:url meta tag and have that point to the base url without the #en or #ar tag ? That will inform the facebook scraper to extract meta content from that url.
