That's what the browser sends a language headed for, except barely anyone respects it and just assumes, example from last night:
I am in CZ, my native language is English, my browser sends en-us, however Google not only switch between CS and DE ať random (presumably due to other travelers coming from the same IP address, I was on a train) but several of their auth flows etc don't offer the option to change language. So in this case it was wrong twice, and many native Czechs also use English as their interface choice, it's essentially telling the user they're dumb and in the other case, forcing people to navigate without being able to comprehend the page they're looking at.
