Hi,
You can force Google to display in English by going to
	http://www.google.com/search?hl=en
Also try this direct link to the preferences page:
	http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en

Save the preferences there, and it should set a cookie so it will remain
in English.

You can also search Google through Yahoo, if it's easier for you to get to
Yahoo's English pages.
