Dear friend thank you for trying to help.

In KDE (Control Center, Regional Settings, Country/Language) I have 
Italian as the locale and US English as the language.

I my konsoles

bob@t40:~$ env |grep LANG
LANG=en_US
LANGUAGE=en_IT:en_US:en_GB:en

I tried changing the locale in KDE, logging out and relogging, to both 
US and C but nothing changed.

I altro tried assigning other values to the LANG and LANGUAGE 
environment vars but nothing changed.

Any other ideas ?

Thank you,
Bob
