Yes, there is. Google tries to figure out what country you're in, and 
present the interface in that language.

Look at where your TOR node is, first by going to something like : 
http://checkip.dyndns.org .. and then to : 
http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/exit.pl?textonly=1

See what country your exit node is in. I'd bet the Google interface 
matches the country of the TOR node.
