Comment:

 If you don't know French, don't have your browser send it as one of the
 available languages.

 If you're using Chrome, go to chrome://settings/languages and check what
 it says under "Order languages based on your preference". That information
 gets passed to websites, and is what is used to give you that second
 screenshot in the "also available" section.

 Similarly, the date in the first screenshot is actually translated by your
 browser, according to your browser's own settings. Not by the server in
 this instance.
