(moderation:
as the title says,
Publications and Press links lead to German language site on About page
https://einsteinathome.org/about page links to https://einsteinathome.org/de/science/publications and https://einsteinathome.org/de/news/press
because of it when you follow the link, all site interface becomes in German language

You know that Google has a translator web page, right?

Maybe someone from Germany posted the websites you refer to onto the Einstein website not realizing BOINC needs to translate them.
Just a guess though...

I don't see such behavior, at least for the "Press" link. the press articles that are linked tell you what language they are in. many are listed as German (not unexpected since this project is based in Germany), but many are in English, or even other languages, and when you click the various press articles, they are in the proper designated language.

When I went to the "About"

When I went to the "About" page and tried the two links Rilian cited, the site structure went to German text and my Firefox browser asked me if I wanted to have the page translated from German to English! The language flag at the bottom right also changed from USA flag to German flag.
On closer examination, I noticed that the links in the "About" page have a language code in them - e.g.
https://einsteinathome.org/de/news/press
If I edit out the /de I get a [US] English page as I'd expect :-)
OOPS!

[Edit] P.S. Rilian was talking about the site interface, not the page content...

yes, i was talking about 4 links that must be English, not have "/de"
and yes the main issue after following them is that site switches to German interface, which is a little bit hard to navigate unless you figure out what is going on (or press back)
yes most probably someone forgot to edit links when copy-pasted

Click “Home” at the top, then remove the /de in the url and you’re back to English.
or just click the back button on your browser.

Now that I think about it, the "Pentathlon" webpage is like that too. I've had to get it's pages translated for me when it continues to switch back to German.
