Yes, and I find it inacceptable to base the website language on the 
browser language.
Concretely: I am German, and naturally my browser is set to German. But 
I want to read lilypond.org or its manuals in English, and for that I 
would have to set my browser language to a different one each time 
before visiting lilypond.org. Or clicking on the manual page language 
each time.

Personally I don't like at all that way of the "service" thinking for 
me, guessing what is best for me. But I'd be content with the 
possibility to switch the functionality off manually, i.e. by explicitly 
selecting a language which should then be remembered at least for the 
time of my current visit.
