You can pretty well ignore the  "Translation-en_US" entries as everyone seems to get those.  However you still seem to have mx entries and apparently no us entries.  Perhaps you should copy and post your /etc/apt/sources.list file.  You may want to edit the copy, deleting the lines starting with "#", the comments, to make the reading easier.  I suspesct you have errors and improper entries in the sources.list file.
To answer your last question(snipped), You tell apt to use the us repo by correctly editing the sources.list file or properly editing the "software sources" gui as mentioned before.
