OpenLayers Google layer in japanese

Question

OpenLayers Google http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg31/scaled.php?server=31&filename=screenshot20120814at916.png&res=landing

I am working on an OpenLayers Map, with one OSM layer and one Google Hybrid. The problem is that all the towns are in Chinese/Japanese? Obviously I would like to have them in Dutch/English. Does anybody know what I did wrong? Here is where I load my map:

// add google aerial layer
var googleLayer     = new OpenLayers.Layer.Google(
     "satellite",
     {type: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID, numZoomLevels: 19}
);
window.map[page_id].addLayer(googleLayer);
googleLayer.mapObject.setTilt(0);

The markers also tend to move around when pannning the map. Is that fixable?

According to Google Maps documentation you can enforce certain language by specifying language parameter when importing google maps script:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&language=ja">

Try language=en to enforce english labels
