Summary: Subscription fails with some Language combinations

Initial Comment:
I have some list with both english(USA) and german
language enabled. If somebody tries to subscribe and
selects german language, they get the "We hit a bug
message". This does not happen if german is the only
option, just if both english and german are enabled.
Also english must be the default to hit the bug.

Here are the error log details:
