There's the following warning: "facebook_scraper.py:855: UserWarning: Facebook language detected as ar_AR - for best results, set to en_US"

Please modify the text of the warning such that it explains how to "set to en_US". Are there exactly two options: a cookie and a proxy?

Hello! Its something you have to change y your cookies. First of all change your language in your Facebook settings. Then export again your cookies and thats it.

Thank you for the info!

The warning message should provide this info. Moreover, probably using a proxy is also an alternative method that should be mentioned, because the language without a cookie seems to be location-based.
