Bug Description

I had to install a new system on my pc so I've chosen Xubuntu 14.04 LTS.
For practical resons I've decided to use a full ENGLISH version, NO whatever language clone, so:

Installation (from DVD) -> Welcome window -> a language selected: English -> ... Keyboard: English -> ... -> Time Zone(!!!): Europe/Prague.
Reboot.
I've copied a conky's configuration from other PC of mine (english as well). Conky restarted.

To my great surprise, conky reads a date as follows:
Date: Po Ä en 02 (czech, wrong fonts, garbled, 'Pondělí Červen' probably ('Monday June' in czech) )

I felt a sense of betrayal si I opened an xterm and listed files:
... 57 čen 2 11:07 .Xauthority
... 1601 kvě 25 16:01 .Xdefaults
... 3519 kvě 27 12:45 .Xresources
... 7572 kvě 31 17:37 .xscreensaver
... 190 čen 2 11:07 .xsession-errors

čen = June
kvě = May

man - in english

Environment (menu items, icons, ...) - english
A current date/time within the clock widget: 08 čen, 18:30 - CZECH!!!

Locale:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_TIME=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_NAME=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

My problem:
When I've chosen the ENGLISH language I have really meant it seriously.
I have chosen the the ENGLISH intentionally and I've expected ALL stuff within my system to be ENGLISH.

What I've done wrong?
