Have a look at
https://askubuntu.com/questions/578455/how-can-i-set-the-user-agent-in-a-webapp
which shows two ways to set the User Agent for a webapp.
It could be something similar to set the Accept-Language header field.

Indeed, if the webapp does not inherit the system language in
Accept-Language, then it's a bug.
For a bug report, have a look at
