I used German translations for a long time, but eventually switched to LC_MESSAGES=C because it makes it easier to report UI bugs. It just removes the guesswork of "what is this menu item named in English?".
Also, with LC_MESSAGES=C set, I can blacklist /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/ in my package manager and save half a gigabyte or so.
