Comments Page – 3 Issues

I’m using the theme ‘Deep Red’, and I’m having comment issues.

1. The name of the author appears in white, the same colour as my background, and I can’t find anyplace to change this in the CSS.

2. When I post a new comment, all of the deleted comments reappear, and instead of saying (for example) ‘One Response to “Test Post”’, it says ‘No Responses to “”’.

3. After I post a comment, this style uses an AJAX comment system, it says something in Spanish. I also cannot find any way to change this.

I will now post up the codes of some pages to help.
