Yes, good point. We don't ship the translation files for the user-visible 
strings (.mo files). But we do ship the translated metadata of the plugins 
(encoded in .json files, build into the plugin binaries).

That's why you see mixed language in the GUI.

Issue is tracked here:

Makes sense, we plan to add that.

You could try the following as a work-around for now:

Open cmd.exe
  set LANG=en_US
  "C:\Program Files\KDevelop\bin\kdevelop.exe"

Hope that helps,
