I have the same problem as in comment 12: setlocale.sh sets locale to
non-existing locale, en_FI.UTF-8.

Clearly not fixed. This bug should be reopened.

Title:
  setlocale.sh can break user-chosen locales and encodings

Status in kde-runtime package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Country/Region & Language setting is very keen to write
  ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh with the contents:

  export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  export LANGUAGE=en_US:en

  even when the Country is not United States of America.

  To reproduce:

  1. In Country/Region & Language setting, Country is United Kingdom (in
  my case). Also note that ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh doesn't exist.

  2. Make some change (I changed Short date format from DD/MM/YY to
  YYYY-MM-DD) and click Apply.

  3. Note that setlocale.sh has been written as above, with en_US
  values.

  This means that when KDE is restarted, all LC_* variables are
  en_US.UTF-8 instead of the previous values of en_GB.UTF-8.

  One workaround is to delete ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh after making the
  required changes in System Settings.

  Another workaround is to set the Preferred Language as well as making
  the other required change (Preferred Languages was previously empty on
  my system). Setting this to British English causes
  ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh to be written with the contents:

  export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
  export LANGUAGE=en_GB:en

  Now there's an extreme demonstration of the problem. With Country set
  to United Kingdom, clicking Defaults subtly changes the Country to
  System Country (United Kingdom). Clicking Apply then changes the
  contents of setlocale.sh from the en_GB values to en_US values, even
  though other settings (Money, etc.) are appropriate for the UK.

  Expected behaviour:

  ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh should not be written if it doesn't exist and it's not
  necessary to write it (LC_* variables are set elsewhere).

  Originally reported to KDE at
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322688. KDE developer says file
  isn't written by KDE, so must be due to distribution-specific patch.
