You can do it a couple of ways, either by running the command (from the 
'Run Command' dialog) and typing "LANG=C [ProgramName]"
eg: LANG=C konsole

Or you can edit the menu entry in the KMenu or on the panel and adding 
"LANG=C" before the command.

The variable "LANG=C" instructs the application to use the default 
language for the application (ie, English), you can also set it to 
LANG=en_US to be sure it's english.
