There is a program that I have not used that may be useful:
localization-config
The other option is to set the locale before running the program:
this is one way:
%  LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8 gedit
this will temporarily run gedit with:
language is english
location is great britain
encoding is utf8
my default is en_US.utf8, so the difference is minimal.
you can then make 'custom' commands or aliases so that you can run:
gb_gedit which runs 'LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8' versus
gedit which runs the default locale.
