Description
https://wordpress.org/download/
A screenshot says more then 1000 words, see attachment.
I'd prefer if the language would be not mixed up, meaning for my example the spanish language should be shown as 'Spanisch', to keep it all german here.
OR (expecting I would like to switch to the spanisch version) you should translate all of it, meaning
(Además en español) instead of (Außerdem auf Español.)

It doesn't help anybody to tell them that a Spanish version is available if the message is in German.
Agreed.
But they should appear in their native languages
(Además en español) would be native language for the spanish.

Replying to Presskopp:
(Además en español) would be native language for the spanish.
If you have three or more languages defined in browser settings, the bar displays a list:
WordPress ist auch auf Deutsch verfügbar. (Außerdem auf Español, Italiano.)
So it's not really feasible to display parts of this string in different languages (except for language names).

I just can't get this out of my head (eyes). That's why I reopened it.

I understand the cleaverness of fetching browser definitions to compose a homepage section/notice, but it's awckward to say the least.
No, the purpose of that yellow bar is to make people aware that WordPress is potentially available in their language. It doesn't help anybody to tell them that a Spanish version is available if the message is in German.
The information in that bar comes from your browser's language settings. If you have German and Spanish as possible languages, then you'll get those messages. But they should appear in their native languages, in order for the reader who possibly reads those languages to be able to read that section.
It may seem odd to have a single sentence in multiple languages, but it is intentional.
