Answer 1

So, the same problem came to chromium 36.
But the solution, as it turned out, was close!
Or constantly run from the terminal env LANG=C.UTF-8 google-chrome

Answer 2

Upgrade the whole system (without dist-upgrade), if chrome is from native source - the problem will go away. If it doesn't go away, write a bug report. If you installed by rolling a .deb package downloaded from the Internet, then install from your native repository.
