Hey guys, we just noticed that we have a bunch of duplicate titles from Google Webmaster Tools. We are getting data from them like this:

/plastic-molded-drives-c-18.html
/plastic-molded-drives-c-18.html?language=en&sort=3a&page=1
/plastic-molded-drives-c-18.html?page=2

/laforge-p-159.html
/laforge-p-159.html?language=en

Seems the biggest problem is that they are spidering the ?language=en on the same product. Has anyone experienced this, or maybe have some suggestions to help out?

Very much appreciated, thanks guys!

You can redirect via .htaccess or an alternative is to set the canonical tag the same for the variant url (recognized by at least google). A combination of the two might be necessary for SEO your page two should probably say page two in the title and the canonical will have the link to page two.
