#40656: WordPress Facebook integration does not obey locale

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 It appears that the Facebook integration uses the location of the server
 WordPress is running on to determine which locale to request from
 Facebook, rather than obeying the locale configured in the WordPress
 settings.

 A client site of mine is hosted in Europe, though its language is set to
 "en_US", verified by calling:

 {{{#!php
 <?php echo get_locale(); ?>
 }}}

 Despite this, when pulling in a Facebook post, the generated embed code
 uses the "da_DK" locale.
