Bug Description
Hello,
I have installed Kubuntu 9.04 64 bit with English language, but I want to have locale settings for Slovakia (so I get Slovak number and date formats). So I have changed "Country or region" setting to Slovakia. At first sight it seems, that everything is correctly set (in preview I see correct example of number and date formats), but at the end these setting are ignored by the applications. For example when I run OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet and I enter the date "31.12.2008" (which is Slovak date format), Spreadseet does not recognise this as date. Another example is when I enter 2,8 (Slovak decimal separator is ",") in SpeedCrunch, it is not recognised as a number. SpeedCrunch recognises only 2.8 as a number ("." is not Slovak decimal separator). Also when I enter decimal number by keyboard's numpad, it is using dot as decimal separator (again this is not correct).
So applications are using English regional setting despite the fact that I have set Slovakia in "Country or region" settings.
Thanks for your help.

What is the output of 'locale' in a terminal?
