(question was about "most people")
Of all the people I know who are using linux here (about 10), no one
uses (slovak) locale for anything else then allowing to pass
iso-8859-2 chars to/from the console.
They hate, or at least are indifferent to having menus
in their native language. They hate number format in slovak locale.
Those who do not understand enough english are using czech/slovak windows
(and are setting custom number format to use decimal dot and no commas,
if their computer literacy is up to it)
