Still happens in the default install of Ubuntu 16.04.1.
Removing the first entry in the language preferral settings (" [fi]")
fixes the issue since the next line is the correct "suomi [fi]".
** Description changed:
It would seem something caused an incorrect language setting in Firefox,
potentially due to 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS upgrade.
- --update: also on a fresh 16.04 LTS install?--
+ Update August 2016: happens also on a clean Ubuntu 16.04.1 installation.
- I noticed I'm getting redirected to English pages on help.ubuntu.com,
- even though that hasn't happened before like eg within the last month. I
- upgraded this machine to xenial today.

When looking at it more (after filing this bug originally against
documentation) in Firefox settings -> Content -> Languages, I noticed
the top-most item was "empty" (no language name) with [fi-fi] in
brackets. Beneath it was suomi [fi] and english options. When I removed
the "empty" language from the list, help.ubuntu.com started behaving
correctly again.
At this point I don't have better information but leaving the bug open
to be documented.
Original report:
All links at eg https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/index.html.fi point
unfortunately to English versions of the pages, like
https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/unity-introduction.html
The correct links would have the ".fi" added to the URL, like
https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/unity-introduction.html.fi
