Yes, they would have to, to get the correct information about the language 
they are using. For KOrganizer, that means:

(This was generated by adding debug output to 
KConfigINIBackEnd::parseSingleConfigFile) Looking at the list of config files 
it parses, I don't see any other sensible place to store the language 
settings except in the language's entry.desktop. Heck, it's conceivable that 
we could create a settings.desktop that optionally stores these settings if 
relevant (so for every language that doesn't take the default of false,false 
for nounDeclension and dateMonthPosessive, which I would guess is a fair 
chunk of them).

The alternative, of course, is a violent civil war leading to independence of 
the Sorbian-speaking minority in the de locale, so that it can have its own 
locale.
