This whole language choosing thing seems to be an unsolved problem. It would be great if users could specify their preferred languages somehow in their browser/OS and websites and apps could respect that. But I guess users won't set it properly so websites will try to second-guess them. You used to be able to do something like google.com/ncr to get US English Google but that doesn't seem to work anymore :( Too many people thinking they know what they want, I guess.

At this point its primary purpose is probably just browser fingerprinting.
