In my experience this is "by design" and is called MUI. There are three levels which should taken into account as well with regard to this functionality: site language settings, browser language settings and language settings in the user profile. Furthermore, every environment has a default language, but in my experience, it is always a good idea to match the default language in your complete SharePoint environment for consistency ... If I'm not mistaken, if your default language is different from English, the termstore might have the default language set to English anyways ... this has been the case in classic SharePoint and it still seems the same so far in modern as well, as far as I know
hope IT helps

Hi Share P . Thank you for that. I am quite familiar with MUI.
The problem that I was describing 2 years ago was that although the site title is one of the 7 classes of MUI-enabled UI objects in Modern sites, at the time it was difficult to set the value of the title in other languages, either manually or with TitleResource.SetValueForUICulture() because it reverted back to the title in the original language. That problem was fixed a long time ago.
If you're interested, I wrote a post with details of which settings determine what language the MUI will use.
You are right that the default language of the term store may not be the same as that of the site. However when the farm administrator creates the term store, he or she can choose the default language and the other working languages of the term store to be any of the supported languages. If you supply labels for terms in all of the languages of the site, the one that will be used will be the current MUI language, for all uses of term stores except navigation.
