This isn't C, no need to set/reset a global state when you can instanciate a class ;-)

KLocale englishLanguage("en");
QString dateInEnglish = englishLanguage.formatDate(qdate);

should work. KSpread does something similar IIRC, to allow spreadsheet
documents to use a different locale from the KDE-global locale.
