You can change the language via the header: The rightmost option is a language dropdown.

It's a client-side change and doesn't impact the URL so users must manually change it each time they visit the site though

Thanks, I missed that on first glance and did manual translation.

Not sure why my iPhone shows an option to translate website but all the destination languages to pick from (I have multiple languages installed), including English, are greyed out. iPhone does support translating from Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), and the button to translate website isn’t greyed out like it is for unsupported/unrecognized languages. Might be an iOS 27 bug, because it is working on other websites?

Why not persist it through a query param? Or a lang param for that matter
