I would expect to see French on ebay.fr and not German.

Are you using an extension to translate those page ? Doesn't your translate extension has an auto-detect option ?

You can search the Add-ons website for a 'translate' extension that works better for you.

Can't you select this text and translate this selection ?

You can possibly paste the text in Google Translate

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

Have you tried opening your profile on that website and selecting a language?
