Why is the only forum language English (US)?

EE is a UK company, so why is the only forum language English (US)?

For a sufficiently eye-watering amount of money, you might be able to hire me to fix things around here. Or just grab any 12-year-old who could probably figure it out pretty quickly.

@LordMatt : What makes you think so? It's the language setting of your browser.

E.G. color (is flagged as misspelt) or colour(isn't)?

Hi @LordMatt

Is this a specific issue for you?

Thanks

Please at least credit me with knowing the difference between a website default and my own browser settings.

It's a symptom of the wider problem. The website is hacked together and barely functions so they push us to use the app which is famously worse. If they can't get something as simple as the forum language right, what else are they getting wrong?
