[Bug 366285] [NEW] Kubuntu - setting "Country or region" is ignored by applications

Hello,

I have installed Kubuntu 9.04 64 bit with English language, but I want
to have locale settings for Slovakia (so I get Slovak number and date
formats). So I have changed "Country or region" setting to Slovakia. At
first sight it seems, that everything is correctly set (in preview I see
correct example of number and date formats), but at the end these
setting are ignored by the applications. For example when I run
OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet and I enter the date "31.12.2008" (which is
Slovak date format), Spreadseet does not recognise this as date. Another
example is when I enter 2,8 (Slovak decimal separator is ",") in
SpeedCrunch, it is not recognised as a number. SpeedCrunch recognises
only 2.8 as a number ("." is not Slovak decimal separator). Also when I
enter decimal number by keyboard's numpad, it is using dot as decimal
separator (again this is not correct).

So applications are using English regional setting despite the fact that
I have set Slovakia in "Country or region" settings.

Thanks for your help.
