Thanks. I can set the parameters, but when I close Konsole and reopen
it, the values are reset:
LANG=he_IL.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=he_IL:he:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="he_IL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
feisty@feisty-laptop:~$ export LANG=C
feisty@feisty-laptop:~$ locale
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=he_IL:he:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
feisty@feisty-laptop:~$ export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
feisty@feisty-laptop:~$ locale
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
feisty@feisty-laptop:~$
I need to permanently set the C LANGUAGE parameter as "C", so that
even when I close Konsole and reopen, it stays "C".

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
