It's strange to me that osm wants to be a global player and doesn't provide at least an English map

I mean the interface definitely has a language...?

    That interface is the "osm website" or usually called "osm.org", a related project, but it has a different license and maintainers, and it's just only one way to see the OSM databse. Source code is here: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website

    If you click on the Edit button by default you will be redirected to another project called iD editor, again with different license and maintainers: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD

    I usually use JOSM, Overpass Turbo and OsmCha to see the live database, and they are all semi-independent projects.
