that's because Debian's website use content negotation to display the
proper translation and is controlled by your browser settings.
See http://www.debian.org/intro/cn for details.

No, this is not possible. Assume you want to view the Spanish translation
of a page which is missing. You would probably get the Enlish version
(dependent on your browser settings). If you follow a link in this page
you want to get the Spanish page not the English one, right?

It was already suggested multiple times to remember users choice of
the selected language. There where also some suggestions to a possible
implementation such as using cookies. Don't know about the status.

Please note that Debian's website has currently a few contraints such
as using only static content (no javascript, ...) and allows also
mirroring of the content ...
