You may want to tell us what device you have, browser, apps installed, etc.

I am pulling this from memory but there is a way to change the language from google correct? I would try clearing the cookies and history and see if that resets it to english. Let us know if that doesn't help though.

Google did the same thing to me last week...very spotty and over a 3 day period. Sometimes it would load in English, sometimes in German. I use Google as my home page so I see it daily. I didn't change any settings or install any new apps during this time period, but I did travel from Tampa to Key West and connected/tethered my Mogul in many different service areas. It is now back to normal for the past several days. I did several soft resets during that time period but no hard resets. Try clearing your cookies & cache and force the browser to connect fresh.

It's a mogul. Strangest thing- after a hard reset it was still screwed up. I deleted cookies, history and files after that surfing a bit to see if it affected more sites and that's when it went to those weird little blocks. I put it down for an hour, it was that or . I cleared cookies again as well as history and files and it's back to normal. Thanks everybody's tips it's working for now.
I thought maybe it was a virus but a virus that only targets Google? (that's rhetorical) Well shoot me now hide the body.

Go Figure,

Thanks again,

If it was the same after a hard reset chances are it is something on Google's side... maybe an issue when reading the browser's user agent, or just a hiccup.

That is what it sounds like. Especially if you cleared cookies and history in PIE, if netfront or other browser you might have needed to clear the cache to. But that should reset everything.
