I realize what I'm about to suggest is an ugly workaround, and doesn't
address the core problem, but you can modify your OOo shortcuts to
prepend "LANG=de ;" (or whatever it's supposed to be to make OOo happy).
This would effectively set the variable just for OOo and not affect
other applications.

Like I said, ugly.
