Google Claims an English Website is Spanish?

I went to a webpage which is clearly written in English by a U.S. based publisher and has always been in English and a mysterious white bar appeared with an odd message saying “this page is in Catalan (Spain). Do I want to translate it using Google Toolbar? This is clearly a bug. Anyone else expereince this?
Google said this about it when I clicked-on Learn More: When you visit a webpage in a different language than your Toolbar, Toolbar will display the translation bar near the top of your browser window and ask you if you’d like to translate the page. Click Translate to translate the page, or click Translate on your Toolbar. Click Show original or the x icon to close the translation bar and view the original webpage. If you change your preferred translation language, Toolbar will remember your language preferences and use them when translating pages in the future. If you use Translate often, you can choose to translate pages automatically. For example, click Translate French automatically while on a French page and Toolbar will automatically translate all French pages you visit in the future by sending page content to Google. You can update your automatic translation preferences in the Toolbar Options window by clicking the wrench.
