Thanks -- that was a bit of work you put into this. I ended up changing 
keyboard and KDE language the GUI tools KDE Keyboard Tool and Control 
Centre > Personalization > Country & Language. Everything is in English 
now and persisting from login-to-login. However, if KDE ever misbehaves 
and I have to do this from command-line I'll have your saved email 
instructions.

Thanks.
