What could possibly cause the English create account page not loading (Chinese OK)?

ZC 1.3.7a

Just discovered that the English "create account" page is not loading: http://haostaff.com/store/index.php?main_page=create_account&language=en

But the Chinese one is loading without problem: http://haostaff.com/store/index.php?main_page=create_account&language=cs

What could possibly be causing this? Which files should I investigate? I have no clue ... screaming for help!

Thank you, Dr. Byte.

I forgot to mention, the sympthom is ... blank page, plus "http 500 internal server error" on the browser title bar.

The debugging file is not generating any .log file in the cache folder for me.

Based on this sympthom (i.e. English not working but Chinese is working), which files should I pay attention to?

Thanks for any pointer.

I have not located the file giving problems ... it is includes/languages/english/create_account.php.

I am certain of it now because when I copied the same file from the /schinese/ folder, the pages started to load, though with some funny characters from the Chinese file.

I know how to fix it now, though I am still not sure what went wrong with the original file in /english/folder. It must be a "space" or "syntax" error somewhere.

But I will simply translate the Chinese file back to English :)

Thanks, Dr. Byte.
