That`s lovely but it does not even come close to answering the question which i shall repeat...''why does chess.com have articles on their website front page in different languages?

Well, because their users speak different languages. I already explained that to you. I also explained how you can read the articles regardless of the language.
However all the articles I see are the same language. Is your ISP from an English speaking country? The flag you've chosen is Guadeloupe.

What's your problem?
Most chess sites have a lot more content than chess.com in other languages. I could reference one that has the word chess and then two numbers after it, or a few others, but the fact of the matter is, if you want to complain about languages on chess.com, the only valid complaint is that they don't have enough content in other languages (only recently have they had any videos in any languages other than English).
I think the way this site does it is fine. Their main policy is English first, but if someone wants to make content in another language, they let them. And they don't shut down posts in the forums in other languages either, which I think is a good policy.
In summary...

If you are on the old site, there isn't much you can do about it.
If you are on the default site, Settings > Profile > Content Language
You can choose between English, English + My Language, and All Languages
That will filter whether or not you see other languages there.
It is not a thing that i need to ''deal with it'' but as my question states it is a matter of understanding why it is so.I feel my question has been clariyed so i wonder why some people who responded felt they needed to go on the attach with comments like;dramatic music?...deal with it bro...or even better'' whats your problem
Self centered Americans want everything in English.

Actually the answer is already given, maybe not the answer you've expected to read.

Furthermore chess.com is increasing their exposure of the content offered.
On an international platform like this adressing people with another native language being less active due to the language barrier, those people are better involved / integreted which is good for the community and therefore also for chess.com.

Usually every day there seems to be an article in a multitude of languages, they look interesting but if i can not read them it is of little use.
