I don't understand these websites which force translation to my native language.

I mean, it's fine as it's useful for many people, but where is the button for disabling it ? Or why is it enabled by default ?

"codage de pointe" sounds so weird and cringe in French.

Same for apps and games. I understand English just fine, no need to switch to your shitty Google-translate localization just because my iPhone or PlayStation is set to my native language.

Does your browser request French via an Accept-Language header perhaps? What really infuriates me is when sites don’t respect that header and give you a translation based on IP location.
