Dear , when I click on a link to an English language documentation page, I don't want to be automatically redirected to a machine generated German translation.

Yes, I have both enabled in my browser. Multi-lingual people are a thing. If I want a translation, I'll explicitly ask for it.

Every site whose product owner/manager insists on automatic translation should immediately fire them.
