Do CPU's have a language characteristic

Why I ask, and I posted earlier with a scenario, is this: when I boot
the screen language is German/ Dutch -European- and it's the same in
CMOS, no English text, all foreign. However, it will boot into the
usual English Windows 2000 OS.

I elected to flash the Bios. I did this trice. I did a clear Bios. No
change. If I use a win98 boot disk the language on this pc is this
German/Dutch material. Format.com is F.DeleteThis@rlad.cmn. If I type let's say
abcd it alters to leoc.

I removed the drive, and did the delpart, fdisk, format in another
machine using the usual tools. I inserted this clean drive back into
the unit. I wrote out an autoexec.bat and installed both win98 and
windows2000. Once in the OSs no problems. I did email Soyo, and they
indicated that if the chip is bought in a foreign country it would be
non-English, but, flashng the Bios (USA download) would correct it. It
didn't.

What I did is buy another motherboard (same model KT400 Dragon Ultra).
I removed the old MB, and inserted the new one. Wired it up, cleared
Cmos, and ---yes...it boots in this German/Dutch style caligraphy. What
did I miss? New harddrive, new motherboard -but the only former items I
back into the machine is the old graphic card, the memory, and the CPU.
Is it possible the CPU is creating this foreign language demonstration.
One additional is that on boot it may go foreign or English (on the
first screen only) where is shows the Bios manufacturer, the memory
scan and the Del to enter Cmos. Some boot all foreign characters. Some
boot the first screen is English. Odd.

I'm doubled perplexed. With the new motherboard I thought the problem
would be eliminated.
If there is a solution that would be perfect.
Thanks
