It rather sounds as if you inadvertently chose a non english language!

I have installed a number of edubuntu. They install just like 
ubuntu/kubuntu and use gnome just as straight ubuntu does.
They are aimed at children so the artwork is a bit more fancy. They 
also are geared for a client ('workstation') and server arrangement - 
for a class full of children if needed. I have only needed to use them 
as a stand alone PC - that is  'workstation'.
