Public bug reported:

This is not really a bug but a much needed feature (I think atleast).

If you like me want all programs to use english for all phrases (so if
something goes wrong, you have a chance google on it) but still want all
other things to be "swedish", ie time format, money format, numerical
format ( . vs ,) you have no possibility other than hacking
/etc/environment or other config files.

This is mine:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

Wouldn't it be nice to let the user select a advanced mode when all
these could be specified using the pretty gnome interface? Much like MS
Windows that let the user select language BUT override time format and
such things.

I DO think you do not need to be a power user to want english phrases
but swedish for the rest. 12 hour clock is really AWFUL and never used
here in sweden.
