Description
Every time I visit ruby-lang.org, I get redirected to https://www.ruby-lang.org/es/, I guess because Spanish is the language of my browser. Since the Spanish translation is always outdated, I have to go to the footer or directly edit the URL to switch to English.
It'd be nice if either my choice would be remembered through a cookie or something, or that the browser language auto-detection was turned off, given that the translations are usually very outdated.
Thanks a lot!

Research direction
Start in the ruby-lang.org website source by tracing how the visitor's browser language leads to the Spanish redirect and how the language choice is exposed in the footer. Check the existing locale pages and deployment behavior, then verify that a visitor can choose English and retain that choice on later visits without breaking language selection.
