You can now go to the KDE control center->Personalization->Country and language and change Country, Language and Charset to your liking. You may also want to change your fonts because right now they are best suited for Chinese.
You can also use localedrake: Run /usr/sbin/localedrake as a regular user and select the language that you want to use. You can run it either in a console or in X. The localedrake modifies your ~/.i18n file and the KDE control center settings, all in one sweep. It's actually very nice for people that want to switch from one language environment to another.
