the point is navigator.languages is the preferred languages ordered by priority -> currently we pick the first and let i18next handle further prios - but basically we could extend that to enable user defined fallbacks to second preferred language,...
navigator.language here acts only as a fallback if navigator.languages (experimental) or navigator.userLanguages (older IE) do not return a language.
To get your desired result order your browser languages by prio (drag&drop). Display google chrome in this language - does not have to do with the content shown on web - just sets prio for chrome itself.

I don't know another way than "Display google chrome in this language" for a user to change the default chosen language on newly loaded website.
It appears to me than if I choose to display chrome in English, it is to see both chrome and websites in English.
How could a user change the website default computed language on first load otherwise?
I voluntary exclude the usual website top flag select :).
I think it make sense that when both navigator.languages and navigator.language are defined, with navigator.language contained in navigator.languages, navigator.language should be chosen first instead of the first valid/whitelisted navigator.languages element.

the order of the languages is relevant - on top is the most preferred - you can change the order by drag&drop

Thank you for the reference. It helped! MDN declares that the order is relevant as well as Chrome in their documentation.I found the option "Display google chrome in this language" really misleading...
So I have to prey that my users read their browser documentation.. not like me!
