For example, I'm Italian and I like in most cases that applications localized work well. But, if I start gnome and I launch evolution and gimp (that are 2 applications that I use very often) menus are in italian. If I start KDE and use the KDE apps, they are in Italian, but evolution and gnome are in english. I was unable to obtain the italian menu. Apps depend on desktop configuration, so using of the environment vars wasn't usefull.
I can see that that's a problem :-) I'm sure it must be possible to do something about this, but it's a specialist area. I wonder if Kevin Koffler can help? I feel that there must be specialist lists for handling language problems. I'd be inclined to try asking on kde-i18n-it - https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-i18n-it
Although the main focus is on translation they may well be able to tell you what you need to do to get the languages correctly aligned.
