you can create a $HOME/.i18n if you want a user to have different settings
than the default.

You can also set some environment variables before launching a program.
KDE uses KDE_LANG, while others use LANGUAGE (why KDE doesn't like LANGUAGE
I don't know); and there is also LC_ALL; that one specifically set the
fontset to use; so you can launch konsole like this:

KDE_LANG=C LC_ALL=C konsole &

(and even make a /bin/konsole bash script like this:

#!/bin/bash
export KDE_LANG=C
export LC_ALL=C
exec /usr/bin/konsole


As /bin is generally before /usr/bin on path that will launch the script
when you just ask for "konsole" (without explicit path)
