When I log onto inat, very often the language changes, even though I have entered my location ( which is in the UK) So far it has been Spanish, Chinese and Czech.  
PS I could not get my head around the ‘bug report’ thingy

Please include screenshots as well as urls/addresses or we won’t be able to help you. It would also help to know your user settings for place and language.

That is exactly what happens, and I use Chrome, and live in Surrey. A similar thing that made my forum posts register as spanish happened, but I think you managed to fix that.
