Have you tried changing your accept language ? IE, it is not based strictly on your IP, but also on what your browser asks for.

I'm based in France, with a french IP, but my browser language header is set as ACCEPT-LANGUAGE en-US,en;q=0.9,fr-FR;q=0.8,fr;q=0.7

And this page is fully in english.

My headers are set to en-US,en;q=0.9 (no other languages) on both Chrome and Firefox and the page is partially translated on both.

It's IP only.

No it's definitely a mix, like my exemple in parent comment describe. If I change my accept header to remove EN priority I get the french translation that matches my french IP.
