Google toolbar reporting "This page is in Filipino" when it is English

How does Google Toolbar determine the language of a page to offer translation from it?

Google is mis-identifiying a simple login page on our site as Filipino and offering to translate it into English. I've tried added a lang="en" attribute to the <html> element of the page, but that seems to have made no difference.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Edit: It's a login page. The text of the page consists only of the following:

Admin
Log Out
Admin Panel Login
Username
Password

Plus a logo and some input boxes.

When I press the translate button, it doesn't seem to change anything.

One way you can fix this problem is to let Google know it made a mistake on translating your page. Not a real solution though, especially if there's a whole website dealing with this issue.
