The S@h homepage is displaying correctly on both my Linux systems, XP box and G4 PowerMac. And thats using quite a broad mix of different browsers. While weird, it sounds more like a local issue. Have you tried emptying your browser cache or rebooting your broadband router? Could even be a local isp problem.

You can try going to the Language selection page and try reseting it there.

Also there was this message about IE6 and a mention of it for Firefox here so it might be a browser setting.

It has been noticed and reported by a number of people with Windows and Linux (so I guess it's not a surprise there would be some Mac too), I haven't noticed a true blue resolution for it in the threads, though I'm hopeful someone else will have more to add.

sounds like it's worth a try too.

I had the same problem while running Camino on Mac OS X 10.4.11.

I tried deselecting all the languages other than English in the International preference pane in System Preferences. Then I rebooted.

Now everything is in English.

Hope this helps! :)
