As I was testing another bug I came across this very interesting one - all of the languages except English are missing their respective translation throughout the site, and as a result, are in English.
I am unable at this time to compile a list of all of the missing translations, but to repro this:
1.) Select a non-English language in your Preferences \> Interface
2.) Refresh the site.
3.) Open up your User Page and head to Preferences
4.) Notice multiple missing translations.
I have noticed that custom items, such as custom (non-default) fields, badges, and sections tend to have missing translations.
Thanks!

That’s not a bug. Only some languages are fully translated.

Discourse will fall back to English when translations are missing. You can help translate at [https://discourse.crowdin.com](https://discourse.crowdin.com)

Yes, custom user field names, custom badges, etc. can’t be translated. That’s #Contribute > Feature request similar to [Name and description of Custom User Fields should be translatable](https://meta.discourse.org/t/name-and-description-of-custom-user-fields-should-be-translatable/221479).
