During the 1% stable experiment period, I don't think those sites adopted Avail-Language. For now, we can keep monitoring any significant changes over the translation metrics and feature related metrics. 2.6% embedded iframes changing means they change content with different Accept-Language, it includes sites they actually only care about the first language.
