I had this problem in 12.04 LTS Precise.

System installed in English, but later played with locale and/or GUI regional settings. After a while, I reverted everything to English, but software-center still used French for the short descriptions of packages (and English for the full descriptions).

I deleted "/var/cache/software-center/" and "/var/cache/apt-xapian-index/", which made software-center crash.

Running

    sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-center

fixed it, and everything is in the correct language.
