Description of the need
Backdrop tabs, such as those on /user have role="tablist" but the children tab links do not have role="tab". As per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/ta..., the tab links need the tab role. It also states that the "panels" need have the role tabpanel, though given that only one is actually loaded to the page at a time, it's not clear if it makes sense.
Example from Mozilla:
<div class="tabs">
<div role="tablist" aria-label="Sample Tabs">
<button
role="tab"
aria-selected="true"
aria-controls="panel-1"
id="tab-1"
tabindex="0">
First Tab
</button>
<button
role="tab"
aria-selected="false"
aria-controls="panel-2"
id="tab-2"
tabindex="-1">
Second Tab
</button>
<button
role="tab"
aria-selected="false"
aria-controls="panel-3"
id="tab-3"
tabindex="-1">
Third Tab
</button>
</div>
<div id="panel-1" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0" aria-labelledby="tab-1">
<p>Content for the first panel</p>
</div>
<div id="panel-2" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0" aria-labelledby="tab-2" hidden>
<p>Content for the second panel</p>
</div>
<div id="panel-3" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0" aria-labelledby="tab-3" hidden>
<p>Content for the third panel</p>
</div>
</div>

There is a Drupal 7 contrib module that "lets the administrator see all administration pages in her preferred language" and which could be ported to Backdrop: https://www.drupal.org/project/...
Allow admin to select admin language seperate from front end language (multilingual)
@stpaultim – You're right: my approach affects also the main menu. I guess, because menus are also considered as user interface (not as content). @findlabnet – If I didn't miss anything,...

Go to the account edit of the desired user. On the horizontal tab below "Region and Language," select "English" or another language. WFM.
