Fair enough. So...

system wide:
gentoo ~ # locale
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Now for KDE:
- System settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Country: Ukraine
- System settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Languages:
1) British English
2) Russian
3) Ukrainian
4) Italian

However, first weird thing, the date example comes out in Russian cyrillic,
I would expect it to be in in British English, would I not?

- System settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Number
First selector's description is in Ukrainian (not Russian)

- System settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Money
The third selector's description is in Ukrainian (it's actually the same of
the "number" tab), everything else is in English

- System settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Calendar:
The third selector's description is in Ukrainian, all other descriptions
are in English.
Proposed values for "Calendar system" are in English, all days' names are
in Russian, though

- System settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Date and Time: everything
in English


- System settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Other: everything in
English

Now for a quick use case with software:
Open Dolphin: everything in English, however, if you select a directory,
the side bar has "size of directories" value in Ukrainian, "modified" value
is... in Russian.

Open umbrello: everything is in English, but if I open the handbook I get
it... in Ukrainian (Підручник з Umbrello UML Modeller).

Open Digikam: the slash screen comes up in English, however, the strings
that run superimposed on it are, again, mostly in Ukrainian.

Open Kate: again, everything in English, the handbook is in Ukrainian
(Підручник з Kate).

This is happening here and there quite constantly, and it was giving me the
impression that a large number of decisions on what language should be used
are based on Country, rather than on "preferred languages". I still cannot
figure out where the Russian strings would come from, though.

Hope this makes things a bit clearer.

Bèrto
