It's possible. But I still couldn't imagine how kubuntu-settings-desktop would affect the language. As far as I know that is really straight foward ... if LANG != C localization will be enabled and the language value is written into the grub config, that is it.

Please do the following
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-settings-desktop
cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg ~/grub-ksd.cfg
sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-settings-desktop
cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg ~/

In your home you should find a file called grub-ksd.cfg and another one called grub.cfg. Please attach both of them to this report.

Oh and what just came to mind. In case you have not tried that before... check if you now have translations even after installing kubuntu-settings-desktop. Uninstalling the package will update grub, so it could be that grub was not localized for completely unrelated releases but uninstalling the package simply updated the config and "fixed" the issue.
