Then, as a hack, I suggest creating .i18n file on home with this 
content:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
DICTIONARY=english
KDE_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I'm not sure it will work, but it might. It would be interesting to 
know.
I have extended the existing .i18n file as follows:
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8
LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.utf8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8
LC_NAME=en_US.utf8
Unfortunately, it did not work. Applications still show up in german. :-(
Maybe you need
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8:de          <==
make that:
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8:en
does not chang things.

Even if I set 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
in .i18n or 
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
.profile, it is not having any impact.

test@X1E:~> export | grep LANG
declare -x LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
declare -x LANGUAGE="en_US:de"
test@X1E:~> export | grep LC
declare -x LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
declare -x LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
declare -x LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
declare -x LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
declare -x LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
declare -x LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
declare -x LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

the setting in .profile should trigger this, according to the description:
# Most applications support several languages for their output.
# To make use of this feature, simply uncomment one of the lines below or
# add your own one (see /usr/share/locale/locale.alias for more codes)
# This overwrites the system default set in /etc/sysconfig/language
# in the variable RC_LANG.
#
#export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8        # uncomment this line for German output
#export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8        # uncomment this line for French output
#export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8        # uncomment this line for Spanish output
