Opening terminal with applescript - changes default input language....

Question

When I try to use Applescript to open terminal, it opens it but changes the input language to Japanese, so anything that I attempt to feed into terminal via applescript turns into nonsense Japanese. (The default language is English and kotoeri is set to romaji/roman alphabet by default)
How do i stop this?
Thanks

Since my snow leopard MBP can't handle smb mounts, I've resorted to using sharity, except that its gui crashes the instant I try to mount a drive. But I can mount samba shares using sharity from the command line. I'd like to have it mount on startup which is supposedly something sharity can accomplish from its gui but since that doesn't work I would like to write an applescript and add it to the login items. I haven't been able mount it using do shell script as the sharity command line, unlike the normal samba mount command) doesn't seem to have an option of entering the password, so the mount fails:
sharity mount smb://user@address/folder
I thought if I open terminal via applescipt, then have it 'type' the command followed by a delay, then type the password, I could get around it but when I open terminal in applescipt, it starts in Japanese:
activate application terminal
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "sharity mount smb://user@address/folder"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
delay 2
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"
delay 2
tell application "Terminal"
quit
end tell
This almost does what I want it to but the input language has flipped to Japanese and sharityもうんtsmb：//Sトラゲ-0165/けいthぱっすぉrd
is the result
Basically its all because of the samba bug in snow leopard (which I reported to apple and they confirmed its the same issue they know about)
