Youpi Deleted English -- How do I get it back?

So I saw all the blogs about saving space by using Youpi Optimizer to delete unused language packs in Leopard. Only problem is that now all of the menus and popups for all of my software (Safari, iTunes, Growler, etc. . .) are in another language! It appears Youpi deleted the english pack somewhere and I can't find away to fix it.
It's only the menus and popups, none of the language inside the app (say this page in Safari, or the music in iTunes) is messed up.
I checked the international settings in System Preferences and it says english is default.
Finder and System Preferences are not affected. They are still in english.
Please help!
Thanks!

No dumb questions, it's all to easy for someone to click on a link and install some dubious junk promising all manner of benefits. Those very actions account for the vast majority of problems reported on this site. That's why it's here.

... Where would I backup all my info, to an external drive?
Yes, a directly connected external hard disk drive is the fastest, easiest, cheapest, and most reliable backup device.
Apple's Time Capsule is another alternative for anyone too busy, too disorganized, or simply too lazy to periodically connect an external hard disk drive so that Time Machine can run and back up your data.
Time Machine is automatic backup software included in OS X, and is so devastatingly easy to use that its sole control literally consists of an "on/off" switch.
"Backing up" is not strictly necessary, but neither is carrying a spare tire in your car while driving a couple hundred miles through the desert in the summer.
As for your more pressing issue: what to do now. Unfortunately the localization files removed by Youpi cannot be restored without reinstalling all the software it affected. In the case of the Mac's operating system, that is easily accomplished by reinstalling OS X using your original System Install disc as I explained. Following that, run Software Update to bring all system software to the latest release. Any additional apps purchased from the App Store can also be downloaded again at no additional expense.
That leaves any software that you may have obtained from other sources. You will need to locate your original retail discs to reinstall it, or download and install the software again if it was obtained online.
The amount of work and time you are facing depends on the amount of additional software you obtained.

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

Oh!
First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
Best of luck!

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

i went to app store to get it but it says to accept but when i accept it says it that it was already accepted, my mac book is still under warranty.

You'd need to do a full install of the OS, not an update. You can use recovery (Command + R keys) during boot up or restart. Your files will not be deleted (unless you choose to erase your drive) - but make sure you have a backup anyway. General info here:

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

I accidently deleted iphoto; how do I get it back for free?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

As far as I know rentals are one-off downlaods, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

What exactly did your friend do ? Did you or he take a backup of your iTunes library before updating your computer ? Have you checked to see if your music is still on your computer ? By default your iTunes library is stored under :
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
If not then do you have a copy of your library on a backup ? If you do then use File > Add To Library to add it back.
If you haven't got a backup then you might, depending upon what country that you are in and if the music is still in your country's store, be able to redownload your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
