I've got very little experience at all with modding, I haven't even used the CK yet but I have several mods that I like and add cool things to Skyrim, unfortunately some of them change the names of items, actors, or locations to other languages, usually German or French, and this can be quite startling when in-game.

I was just curious if someone could tell me a hopefully simple remedy for going into these mods and fixing it so that they revert back to the English version names?

The easiest way would probably be to just use TES5Edit. Load up the plugin and when you click on a record it will show you the differences between the original "Skyrim.esm" version of the object, and the mod version. Just copy the name/description from the original, and paste it into the name/description field of the mod plugin to revert the language back to English.
