The post highlights significant frustrations with how language preference is handled by various websites and online services. Many users express their annoyance at systems that guess their language based on location rather than adhering to the Accept-Language header sent by browsers. This often results in poor experiences, such as receiving irrelevant translations or not being able to switch to desired languages easily. Notably, services like Wikipedia are praised for effectively allowing users to select their languages without assuming preferences. Issues with Google's language handling are particularly criticized, leading some users to seek alternatives like Bing. The comments underscore the need for better language handling and more intuitive options for users, especially in multilingual contexts.
