It should be only on the .profile file - read the comment:

# NOTE: It is recommended to make language settings in ~/.profile rather than
# here, since multilingual X sessions would not work properly if LANG is over-
# ridden in every subshell.

It is:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 firefox

without the && - provided the commandline is "firefox".


My system has english as main language (en_US.UTF-8), but to see a program 
in Spanish I use:


LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=espanol  program


It is a nuisance that KDE doesn't use the same language method as the rest 
of the programs...
