The reason for this is rather simple:
The test is not translated into "x-test". KLocale checks whether an
application is translated into a language before enabling it. So, if your
application is not translated into KDE_LANG, "en_US" is used as the
fallback.
Check the output of KGlobal::locale()->language().
For a reason for this behaviour, look at KLocalePrivate::setLanguage in
klocale.cpp.
