I would suggest that companies should stop machine translating any language that's actually present in the Accept-Language header.
If my Accept-Language header is "no-nb, en-us, en-gb" it means that I have declared that I _know_ all these languages, but if you have a high quality version of Norwegian I'd prefer it. Do not try to be "helpful" by forcing a machine translation from English to Norwegian on me. However if there is a useful review in French, providing it machine translated is perfectly fine.
All Google products are notorious for this. Google Play, Google Maps Reviews etc. will be poorly translated into Norwegian, instead of being left as is.
