When I set English in a browser with Spanish preferences, the UI does change to English.

Please don't; instead, describe what you do in plain text.

The Spanish translation is incomplete, so some strings may show up untranslated.

The computer where I logged in from is in spanish so I wanted to change to english. Will add a video screen capture later to prove language setting does not apply as requested.

I can't reproduce this.  When I select English, Savannah UI texts are in English, overriding my browser's settings.

What is your local language?

That page has no language settings. What is "global display language"?

Quite right.  This is intended.

Also the "Submitted:" field when creating a new bug sends the date format over email in the language of the submitter instead of English.

The signature in the email after
_____________________________________________
also is in the submitter's language instead of english.

When I go to any Savannah page, example
https://savannah.gnu.org/i18n.php?lang_uri=%2F

even if I choose to keep for a year it does not update the display language of the website. It keeps showing text mixed in english and my local language, so I would like to have it only in English.
