[ckan-dev] CKAN showing up in Google searches - Language used

Hi, our instance of CKAN now has datasets showing up in google searches, which is great.  However I have noticed that often the link which comes up in the google search takes the user to a 'non-default' language version of the dataset or resource.  Ie. Our language is English, but a search for example for:  house mouse data  returns as the number 1 result one of our resources, but with the language as Arabic.  This is perfectly fine if the user doing the search is wanting the Arabic language interface, but not quite so user friendly if the users wants the English interface.

Is there anything that can be done to influence this behaviour (without removing language options that some other users might wish to use)?

Thanks
Aaron
