This was the original implementation but reverted on purpose to allow for example english instrument names when working with a german gui. The current implementation instead allows to configure a default instrument file in preferences.
Ok. It makes sense.
Maybe a similar dropdown menu than the global language one can be implemented. With system being the default.
Or maybe not ... because it will not enable the use of an instruments.xml file based on something else than the language.
So maybe, a checkbox, checked by default, to use the default instrument file for the global language.
The ultimate goal is that a new french user, opening MuseScore for the first time, gets the instrument list in French.
An advanced user should be able to pick a particular instrument file, not linked with a language.

This is fixed differently. The instruments are translated on transifex now.

It's always a small celebration to be able to close a four digit issue.
Indeed! FWIW, here are some that were marked fixed during last year or so I've been maintaining my list:
#9567: Start hook property for voltas not saved
#8924: Add native support for slash notation
#7805: Copy and paste does not preserve stem direction for beamed notes
#7724: During playback, display jumps to top of page if last staff of system is showing
#7713: Reducing actual duration corrupts tuplets
#6535: Impossible to tie to a grace note
#6369: Pasting repeat bar over barline corrupts measures
#6368: Pasting triplets over a barline corrupts measures
#6281: Instrument change undo, transposes twice
#6107: Multi-staff barlines break with hide empty staves.
#4905: Crescendo/decrescendo playback
#3961: Melisma line over system break
#3325: Seconds between voices overlap
#2914: Add a swing/shuffle effect to playback/export
#2860: Browsing menu items doesn't work (Alt + arrow keys)
#2316: Small ties
#1464: Faulty vertical alignment of accidentals at chords
Some of these were quite serious ("critical").
