Maybe those are languages used at the ISP hosting the website, or at the company that does the site design?

Could it be the same reason has a Mongolian translation but none in any Slavic languages written in Cyrillic besides Russian -- that is, that those are the languages they found people willing to translate the site into?

im betting on hwhatting being right. Surely a Gaelic site, even if it's for learners, would at LEAST know how to translate their own messages into Gaelic? On the other hand the Talagog one is incomplete, unless they just use loans for thsoe words.

My first guess was that the ISP was somewhere in SE Asia, e.g. Phillipines, but then Tai is a little odd, and Hindi, unless they get a lot of migrant workers from India. But why no Malay? And if the Tagalog is incomplete/incorrect that wouldn't fit anyway.

Is the site run on Wordpress?
