Off-topic Google question...but desparation has set in ;-)

[Chris Malton]

Google will automagically redirect to the native language of the country 
you are in if you go to google.com

Going to google.co.uk or similar will make the language "stick"

I know that's a bit problematic, but .co.uk might be your best bet.
