But that'll translate the entire browser to Spanish, which you may* not want. All due respect, but you don't seem to be in touch with reality on this one.

Just because you speak a language, doesn't necessarily mean it's your preference all over the place. Or let's say you're Dutch and you live in the US. Your OS is in English, and imagine if telegraaf.nl auto-switched to English.

  (**) The web and apps are full of less than ideal translations. And AI has actually worsened it.
