That, precisely is the issue. We can only speculate as to what might be good or bad. There is no way to really know is correct (and infact why is it even the business of a browser to determine that). In a lot of situation, it is not something the product gets to decide. For example, this got triggered when a customer added translations to the application (which changes that button).

translation implies "other language". instead of still defining the page as being english, why not trying to define the page's language to the language the customer (allegedly) translated into?

in your case, non-translated "Account" and "Password" texts in a french corpus are most probably much much more common than a wrongly-translated french "Connexion" in an english corpus...

that said, i do not know if chrome is really considering the language or not, but i certainly would hope so. :)
