Does this help:

To change the display language for Google Accounts, you'll need to change your Google interface language. To do so, please follow these steps:

Visit the Google homepage and click the Settings link in the top-right corner.
Click Search Settings.
Under the Interface Language header (at the top of the page), select the language of your choice from the drop-down menu.
Click the Save Preferences button, located in the top-right corner of the page.
Once you've changed your interface language, please close the browser window. Then, open your browser and visit https://www.google.com/accounts/. The Google Accounts homepage should be displayed in the language you've selected.

If the interface language doesn't match the language you selected, please clear your browser's cache and cookies and try setting the interface language again. Note that deleting your cookies will also remove your saved settings for other sites you've visited.

Keep in mind that while the Google Accounts homepage is available in all Google languages, individual Google products may not be available in all languages.
