This is not a very useful feature.
It will make it impossible to use KDE with different languages, say in a kiosk 
situation. I juste changed the language from german to US-English, but the 
location-names stay german, while the rest of the desktop is displayed in 
english :(

I really believe this should be treated as a bug, not a feature. Or at least a 
„buggy feature“ ;-)
