I do not use (nor want to) a google account to sign in. Chromium has
English set as the preferred language (I typically don't install weird
localisation things and language packs in any case; 7bit ASCII FTW).

I have also done the google.com/ncr thing, which got rid of google.com
defaulting to google.nl, but groups.google.com keeps insisting on
translating the 'app' to Dutch. Seeing both Dutch and English (the
actual messages) at the same time completely screws my brain.

I'd file a bug against groups.google.com for not respecting the /ncr
thing, but I suspect you'd require a google account for that :-(
