You are correct that this won't work.

First, it isn't really correct to change the environment in the 
".bashrc" file.  The environment should be changed with the 
".bash_profile" script.

Second, if you do so (either way), it will affect the whole KDE session 
for that user.

What you can do is to start Konsole with a scrip (e.g. konsole_english):

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
#! /bin/bash

LANG="C"
export LANG

exec konsole

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------

and modify the:

	$KDEDIR/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop

file to read (for example)

	Exec=konsole_english

Then if you find that you need other things in the environment changed, 
you can simply add them to the script.
