Pedro M and others wrote about changing language
settings.

It may help, that language settings can easily 
be changed by text-editing config files with 
language definitions in them.

I found this easier than doing it via the GUI. 
Here they are, in so far as I've picked them up ...

/etc/init.d/keymap.sh -- 
sets a language version of kbd map file.  
(If changed, the line that mentions a k*.sh file 
should specify one or another of the *map.gz files 
that can be found in a subdirectory under 
/usr/share/keymaps)

/etc/profile -- refers to a default language-
setting, & can be changed to another default.

KDE setting-files with language settings are 
found in several parallel directories.  They 
are all like xxx/.kde/share/config, where xxx 
is firstly /etc/skel (for the defaults copied 
into each new user's home directory) and then 
/home/<userid> for each user (and also another 
one off the root user's home directory).

Language setting is found in each of 
the copies/versions of file  'kdeglobals', 
and also in each copy/version of file 'kxkbrc'.
