Google Thinks My pages are in a Different Language

We've been listed on Google for years and had top listing for the same terms for about two years.

Last week our site got indexed (17th october). Since then google thinks our pages about France are in French and it's trying to convert them back to english. And it's doing the same for the pages about Spain.

Next to our site there is a link that says "Translate this site" and when you click on it the next page says "This page was automatically translated from French" - but our site is in English

Anybody got any suggestions?

It can be some things....

are there some french domains or spanish domains linking to u?

are there any spanish or french content at the pages where u talk about Spain and France?

That things can cause Google detect your page like a Spanish or French website
