The language is determined in Horde_Registry::preferredLang() so you  
might want to look there.  We select languages in this order:

1. Preference (but this is NOT intended to be used pre-authentication;  
in fact, there should probably be a getAuth() check there)
2. Language selected on login screen.
3. Language in session (a guest user can set a language in a session)
4. Browser's list of accepted languages
5. NLS curr_default
6. Fallback to en_US if all else fails

I tend to think that your users' browser is reporting that it wants  
English as its first option.
