--- Comment #1 from Diego Iastrubni <elc...@kde.org> ---
‎The root of the problem is that even if you don't translate the UI
(SystemSettings -> Regional Settings -> Translations - you keep only english)
and in Formats -> you choose your location, you still get dates in the "current
locale" (hebrew in this example). 

However the user clearly want pure english localization, even those the
date/numbers should be in the country locale. In unix he wants:

[elcuco@homer ~]$ locale
LANG=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="he_IL"
LC_NUMERIC="he_IL"
LC_TIME="he_IL"
LC_COLLATE="he_IL"
LC_MONETARY="he_IL"
LC_MESSAGES="he_IL"
LC_PAPER="he_IL"
LC_NAME="he_IL"
LC_ADDRESS="he_IL"
LC_TELEPHONE="he_IL"
LC_MEASUREMENT="he_IL"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="he_IL"
LC_ALL=he_IL

The proposed woarrounds are:

1) Create an en_IL locale - ugly
2) Use en_US - but bring back a hack that makes the week start at Sunday
instead of Monday.  

#1 is beyond the technical capabilities of many users. #2 should come from the
platform - us :)
