One thing that would be brilliant and would also help with numerous other issues would be if the site was open source and available on Github. This change would allow numerous improvements such as up-to-date, relevant examples, issues and pull requests for discussions and improvement etc.

To the best of my knowledge, if you go to https://developer.mozilla.org you're just served articles in English (that may be because I have English set as my language in my browser, I don't remember what happens if I set it to my actual native language). But I noticed that Google search results actually are pointing me to my native language.
They automatically set it according to your location, I have the same problem in France.
Yeah for this statement, "...often Web developers are looking for quick examples...", I don't even care if the examples are higher up on the page or not...I just would like more and more examples. Sometimes the examples are too few or don't fully exemplify options of particular functions, etc. Nevertheless, I'm absolutely grateful to all the folks who put in so much work into MDN. If you are one of those people, know…

I'm Swedish, and get "redirected" to https://developer.mozilla.org/sv-SE/ if I follow that link, even though I have English set as the language in my browser.
At the time it most certainly was not doing any type of IP geolocation; your browser's Accept-Language header was how we initially determined the language to show you.
Edit: And it still does only use Accept-Language. Here's the code:

I'm Swedish and I don't get redirected. Are you sure Swedish isn't listed in (firefox) Options -> Content -> Languages -> Choose... ? (the language of the browser itself is irrelevant) It's embarrassing how many steps you have to take do this. Why not honor my OS settings huh...
Thanks for the heads up though, I'll do some more digging and see if I can manage to change it.

I'm on Chrome, and even though both my OS and browser is set to English, I do get redirected to the translated page. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll do some more digging and see if I can manage to change it.
Perhaps: Settings -> Show advanced settings (sigh) -> Language and input settings

2011-2015 I was on the team at Mozilla responsible for MDN.

I don't get redirected in chrome wither, granted I always need to relentlessly hunt down obscure language menus. Perhaps: Settings -> Show advanced settings (sigh) -> Language and input settings
Tack för hjälpen!
