Here is the scenario:

1. Mike replies to a PC started by Kier
2. Kier gets the email notification about the new reply
3. The email notification body is in another language because the phrases were translated.
4. However if Kier clicks on Show Original/View Source he will get something like this:

Code:
--=_00b85992a1ada0161172217a001d1bf4
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Tested on Gmail

I don't understand why you're sending the email in english behind the scenes... is this by NSA request? :p
 
It probably means you haven't translated the plain text phrases.

Usually emails are sent with both HTML and plain text encoded in their message bodies. Presumably you've translated the HTML phrases (which contain HTML, things like the avatar and pretty quote boxes) but not the plain text ones, so when you receive the email, Gmail opens up the HTML version which you have translated, but there's a few things you can do to view the plain text version, which, you haven't translated hence still in English.
 
These are the phrase names in question, if you want to check:

conversation_reply_email_html
conversation_reply_email_text
conversation_reply_messagetext_email_text

I'm guessing that at least one of those on your board is not translated.
