Yes, this was good guess.  I do have LANGUAGE set to sk_SK.  After
unsetting LANGUAGE templates are displayed in English as expected.

Regarding that 'cp --help' tests, when I have locale variables set as
described in previous mail (LANG set to sk_SK; LC_TIME, LC_COLLATE and
LC_MESSAGES set to C) and aslo LANGUAGE set to sk_SK, 'cp --help' is
displayed in English.  I get similar behavior for other programs (e.g. mc,
mutt, vim, ...).

I did few more tests with debconf.  I've unset all LC_* variables and also
LANG and LANGUAGE to get clean environment.  Then I tried following
commands:

  LC_MESSAGES=sk_SK dpkg-reconfigure <pkg>
  -> Slovak "window" label and button labels, English template text

  LC_MESSAGES=sk_SK LC_CTYPE=sk_SK dpkg-reconfigure <pkg>
  -> labels and template text in Slovak

I believe this test and its results should be easily reproducible.  Hope I
haven't made any mistake now ;).

As you can see, there is not only difference in interpretation of locale
settings among debconf and "other libc apps", but also among "parts of
debconf".
