I’m using Firefox on Linux. Everything other than the headers is in English.

Can’t reproduce from my side. Can you say more about your system’s location and/or language settings? Any reason why something might be detecting Chinese language?

It seems to be Linux-specific. My Windows VM doesn’t do it.
headers on Linux
According to another website, I’m sending these HTTP headers:
| ACCEPT | text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,/;q=0.8 |
|---|---|
| ACCEPT-ENCODING | gzip, deflate, br |
| ACCEPT-LANGUAGE | en-US,en;q=0.5 |
| HOST | www.whatismybrowser.com |
| REFERER | https://duckduckgo.com/ |
| TE | trailers |
| UPGRADE-INSECURE-REQUESTS | 1 |
| USER-AGENT | Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0 |
And according to the JavaScript console, this is the language:
"en-US"
headers on Windows
According to another website, I’m sending these HTTP headers:
| ACCEPT | text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,/;q=0.8 |

| ACCEPT-LANGUAGE | en-US,en;q=0.5 |

And according to the JavaScript console, this is the language:
"en-US"
The weird part is that it’s inconsistent. The primary header is in English, it’s just those subheaders that are localized.

Thanks for reporting this. It is because the set locale from accept language header setting has been enabled on Meta. That setting causes issues with the anonymous cache and should not be enabled on public sites that are using a CDN. For details about the issue, see Swedish? meta just showed me the UI in Swedish.
I’ll disable that setting on Meta now.

Okay, so it has nothing to do with my Linux or Windows setup. That’s a relief…
