translation

I have a page that Google Chrome insists on thinking is in French. Here's a snapshot of it:

http://yootles.com/outbox/overcleverchrome.html

Note that I'm including a meta http-equiv tag to tell it that it's in fact in English:

<meta http-equiv="Content-language" content="en">

But it doesn't help. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this?
