      A Facebook page targetted to US Hispanics (with content in Spanish and English) is showing me a hindi sitelink underneath the main Facebook link when I google (in the US, English) for the page [ page name facebook]. We don't have any content in hindi, or targetted to that audience.

      If I click on the sitelink while logged out of facebook, I can see it takes me to a facebook subdomain of hi-in. When I'm logged in it just redirects me to the same page. Any idea why this could be happening?

            Hmm.. That is bizarre.. Do you guys have that page set up in different languages?

              No, it's not. The content is mostly in Spanish and only one version. So no global page. We also have checked the Page's FB insights, and we don't show any weird traffic from India either.

                Very weird. Apparently it's not that uncommon. I just wonder how Google decides that it should be shown in different language. People are recommending to ask this on google support forum here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!home Because it's google "fault", not facebook's.

                Do make sure that all the targeting, multi-language content, settings etc are all properly setup though.
