I prefer it in German actually.

Check System Preferences->International and make sure English is the top most language. Then relaunch System Profiler.
If that doesn't help, repair privileges with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't help, restore System Profiler with Pacifist
If that doesn't help, make an Archive & Install of the operating system.
If that doesn't help, try to sell your Mac at ebay.de to some German guy.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Select System Profiler, File->Get Info->Language and make sure English is selected. English needs to be at the top of the list in International system pref too.
