{{#babel}} still uses two English-language strings: User language and Users by language. They should be translated. Additionally, it would be handy to have the option to hide those strings.

I can't see any wiki where the translation doesn't work in the way explained at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Babel#Configuration
You're talking of some multilingual wiki which has English as default content language, I suppose. I see the headers don't follow the user language, probably because they are links and must link a page which exists locally.
We could translate the link label if the translations aren't too inconsistent (and hence the link target isn't surprising):

Actually, this is already handled by the code; we just need to set
$wgBabelUseUserLanguage
(boolean) Whether to use the user interface language for the header and footer message. If false (default), it will be in the page content language. This is because using the user interface language may fragment the parser cache.

For Wikimedia wikis we can probably reconsider this decision: please open a discussion at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum and then request a global configuration change.
