The OSM website is translated at translatewiki.net. Every time an 
interface message changes, the translations have to be updated or users 
see English. I'm not sure how long it takes for new translations to go live.

At the moment, only one language is completely translated, but many are 
making progress. [1] You can sign up at translatewiki to help keep your 
language updated. The wiki has information about translating other parts 
of the OSMverse. [2]

<https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/561> and 
probably others.
