Google Apps forces me to read in Chinese

I came across this problem when looking to install Google Apps on a domain.  It gives me this problem on both of my computers as well as some VMs I have.  I don’t know why I’m having this problem–I don’t know a single thing in Chinese and have never selected that for a language.

I wanted information on what they would provide for a non-profit, but this affects the links to pages for schools and ISPs also.  A Google search took me to the landing page at http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html .  When I scroll down to the bottom and click on “schools,” “non-profits,” or “ISPs,” I get taken to a Chinese page.  When I click on the language drop-down and select “English,” I get taken back to the Google Apps landing page, not the pages with information for schools, non-profits, or ISPs.  I got around this by just doing a Google search instead and avoiding the Google Apps landing page.  This isn’t a mission-critical problem, but definitely an annoyance.  Here are some screenshots:
