Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I noticed that the Google home page was coming up in Cherokee language
instead of English on my Natty install; going into the language
preferences in Firefox I found that the only entry listed a 'chrome://'
URL -- unfortunately I didn't take a screen shot and don't know the
exact URL.

After adding English-US moving it to top, and saving, Google now
defaults to English as expected. Unfortunately the dialog no longer
lists the 'chrome:' entry, but just lists English-US and English.

Google appears to have seen the 'chr' part in the Accept-Language header
and interpreted it as Cherokee; you can see the same results explicitly
by going to http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=chr
