Yes.  However (I almost never use LANG, so I could be wrong here, but nobody
else has mentioned these options):

LANG=xxx /path/to/prog

should work - so you can make simple shortcuts that do that, and also (and
much more useful to you) I'm fairly certain that KDE actually uses
KDE_LANG, so you should be able to set that to Hebrew, LANG to C or en and
get exactly what you want.
