This happens to me everyonce in a while. It's google resetting language preferences to Afrikaans (at least this is what is shown, the language displayed is not Afrikaans, I don't know if it's a language at all). You should try setting it back to english in the preferences menu (2nd item in top right corner).

Try switching it back to another language first, when this happened to me I could never find english in the list of languages at first. – levesque Oct 11 '10 at 17:43

Further to the above (I would comment if I could)... it's Cherokee. I had the same a few weeks back, as I had this junk line in my language preferences

[chrome://global/locale/intl.properties]

CHR is the ISO language code for Cherokee, and is your browser's best match. You won't find many sites that offer Cherokee, so Google is the only one serving you a Cherokee version.

At the time I think I was convinced Xmarks was the culprit. Solution, as stated above, was to delete and re-add English.
