Hello, fellow mountain ape. I get Norwegian text in /some/ apps on the Mac even though Norwegian is 2nd in "preferred languages." I guess some use "Region" to decide instead of the logical setting. And setting the region to something else will cock up in other interesting ways by showing wrong units instead of the wrong language.
Even the keyboard on my MBP is physically US ANSI, because if you've ever coded more than a hundred lines using brackets on an ISO keyboard you know why.
I managed to get everything right in KDE on my PC though, by some weird way of using "Danish (UK)" or whatever it's called in some specific settings -- I don't even remember how or why but everything worked just right. Sorting, decimal point, app languages, everything. Could never replicate it though.

But what I generally want could be summarized as "give me the original version of the app if in Norwegian, if not give me the English version".
