Situation
For years I’m using salesforce. I had to login thousands of time through login.salesforce.com. I noticed that the language of the login language changes (probably dependent on the computer or browser I was using.
Question
Does anyone know how is the language of the standard Salesforce login page set?
(e.g. cookies?)
Can we influence/force it to a specific language?

Method 1
It uses your default browser settings to set the language
Here I have set my language to german
And the resulting login page
Once you are logged in, it will use your locale settings in your profile.
Method 2
As seen before – thanks to CyberJus for your answer – it is possible to change the language based on the browser language.
However, it is possible to overrule this setting by using the url parameter locate. Locate overrules the browser settings and displays the website in any given language:
- https://login.salesforce.com/?locale=de
- https://login.salesforce.com/?locale=fr
- https://login.salesforce.com/?locale=uk
- https://login.salesforce.com/?locale=us
Method 3
You can change it in the Locale Settings on the Company Information page
