Some people may recommend http://www.google.com/ncr http://www.google.com/ncr, but have you tried actually asking for English when you request pages on Google?

Some people may recommend http://www.google.com/ncr http://www.google.com/ncr, but have you tried actually asking for English when you request pages on Google? It sounds like you don't have your Accept-Language header set to English. If an Accept-Language: en header doesn't fix the problem, you should complain on HN (with a new thread) about it instead of using /ncr. Google really should support that.
