SUMMARY

Under Regional Settings, there is a) Language and b) Formats.

Language should control...language. However, language is controlled by Formats:
Region.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Format: Region to es_CR (Costa Rica)
2. Set Language to: American English
3. Restart your session
4. Result: the KDE UI is localized to Spanish, despite the Language setting
having been specified as English

Please remember: Region is not equivalent to Language. 

OBSERVED RESULT

Setting Language to English is ignored if Region has a different "default"
language.

EXPECTED RESULT

Language should be independently settable from Region.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

$LANG gets set to es_CR in this case. If LANG is supposed to represent
language, shouldn't it track...Language?
