I guess it's because we have <link rel="canonical"
href="http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail"; /> in page source, so
Facebook is fetching the canonical (variant-neutral) version (and this
is expected, since http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/Gmail and
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/Gmail refer to the same article), where
zh is used as the interface language. However zh falls back to
zh-hans, so all interface messages are in zh-hans.
