I don't know how all the major U.S. auction sites handle localization, but this press release notes that the Sixbid platform is now available in six additional languages beyond the original German and English.

Sixbid Now Available in Six Additional Languages
Since 26 April 2022, Sixbid has also been available in Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
Recent years have shown that the coin market is becoming increasingly international. Sixbid is reacting by adding further languages to its website. As of 26 April 2022, all features of Sixbid.com have been available in six new languages. Users are no longer limited to bid on their favourite coin in German and English, they can now also bid in Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
An International Platform – Right from the Beginning
When a group of coin dealers founded Sixbid in 2001, they had the international market in their mind from the very beginning. In 2001 that meant that, in addition to German, the features of the website were also available in English. With these two languages, Sixbid – the mother of all auction platforms – established itself as the standard auction platform for the German and the American market.
An International Market Requires Many Languages
A market leader constantly has to adapt to changing circumstances. Sixbid meets this challenge by optimising its website regularly. Whereas many technical improvements and adjustments were highly important but hardly noticeable to most users, the new language options will please coin collectors across the globe.
After all, especially the Asian market has become increasingly important over the past decades. These customers – and particularly those from China and Japan – play a key role in the auction business. For a long time, coin collectors from Asia were mainly purchasing coins of the highest price segment. By now, their interest has spread into all price segments and their participation has manifolded. Just like many Europeans, they are used to navigating the Internet using their own language. Sixbid has taken this into account and expanded its language options.
From now on, users can access almost all of Sixbid's features in eight languages. This means that Sixbid is available in Chinese, German, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. To activate your preferred language, you just have to choose it from the language options in the menu bar in the upper right corner of the website. If you then also select your favourite language in your account settings, you will receive all communication from Sixbid.com in the selected language.
More Than Auctions and Bidding
Sixbid has considerably expanded its range of services in recent years and now holds its own online auctions in collaboration with Auex. If you're registered with Sixbid, you no longer have to come up with new passwords all the time.
In addition, the Sixbid Collector's Archive provides hammer prices of hundreds of thousands of specimens free of charge, which you can use for your own research.
