If I'm reading something in language A which deep links me to some documentation, I think it's quite likely that I want to see it in language A, not language B which happens to be my machine's native language.
For example recently I was linked to a Microsoft page via a comment, but it rendered in Japanese, which was a pain to me because I was looking for a specific citation in English. I had to switch language then dig through the site to get back the text the comment author was talking about.
