English words suddenly part of local search

We have an english word where Google is saying that 10'000 people in Switzerland are looking for it.

Though most Swiss speak english it doesn't make sense to look for that word in english instead of looking for it in the mother language.

One year ago the adwords stats didn't show any visitors for that word.

Looking at the Overture stats for the German language those don't show even one searcher looking for that word in english.

It seems obvious that with recent changes in Google they are not as well able to tell what country a visitor is from.

Anybody else noticing this? Are only the stats for english words corrupt?
