I would have thought two conditions cover the majority of cases...

1) the language the email was written in...
2) the set language horde is in..
    b) the default language the browser is in.

Or better, a weighting factor of the three.

My sender writes in German, my horde is in English, my browser is in
Italian..
  German
My sender writes in Chinese, my horde is in German, my browser is in German
  German
My sender writes in Spanish, my horde is in English*, my browser is in
Spanish
  Spanish

* bonus algorithm, if any of the three is in English default to English
since they are the least likely to be bilingual... ;)
