[WEB-1451] Minecraft.net redirects to an incorrect language version

When I navigate to minecraft.net, it is in the wrong language. It currently directs me to the Japanese website, but has also directed me to the Chinese website in the past.

I live in the United States and do not use a VPN.

My Windows language/region setting is English / United States.
Using Chrome (on Windows 10) I consistently get redirected to es-es page.
Using Microsoft Edge (also on Windows 10) I get redirected to ja-jp page.

I had this problem as well.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Globe icon to set the language to English.

I haven't seen the issue since.

That seems to have fixed it, though I had to pick English twice. The first time it went to an undefined page (still with the es-es path in URL. Second time it went to en-us and that seems to have stuck when I close my browser and come back again. No other web page I have ever visited though will auto-switch me into a different language when it has English available.

This is still happening, changing the language via the language select icon as mentioned only fixes it temporarily. This is also the only site I've ever experienced this on, it has to be something on the site itself that's causing it.
