10.5.6 Combo displays in Japanese?

[Vanilla]

Hi
I've downloaded the combo package and updated my iMac successfully.

However when I downloaded the package on my Macbook and opened it I discovered it was defaulting to Japanese. I am incredibly nervous in proceeding in case I end up with a japanese formatted installation or somesuch.

I've checked the international section in preferences and it appears valid in that its set to British English language and United Kingdom Region so I'm at a loss why it thinks the laptop is Japanese.

Has anyone any ideas what is happening?

Anyone have any thoughts?
Apologies in advance for the bump...

It shouldn't do that. You might like to download the package again.

So after reading your comment I deleted the file off my MacBook and then copied over the downloaded package from my iMac that worked fine. When I opened it on my MacBook I got the Japanese text again so I think its picking a configuration up from my MacBook rather than being 'Japanese' itself. I just can't figure out where this Japanese setting is.. do you know where else I could look other than the 'International' section in the system preferences?

In the International pref pane, if Japanese is at the top, your mac will default to Japanese. You can drag the languages around to change the preferred order but that's about it.

Well British English is right at the top but I'm still getting the Japanese text. In the end I've given up and just used the software update method - 190mb - which worked fine.

I guess I have a residual concern that something is not quite right in my MacBook OS but for now I'm happy.
