Are you based in Quebec? I live in Germany and so the Windows Live interface is in German language by default since it obviously runs across a.de server and so the language is geared to the country server (AOL and Google also follow the same terrible practice in Germany). There is a settings menu item (paramètres in French) to the right top of the Windows Live interface where you can select English as your language.
