sudo apt install language-pack-gnome-xx

this allows GIMP to correctly display the menu in the desired xx
language

so the bug would seem to be the lack of that package among the GIMP dependencies
unless you want to pre-install it in kubuntu for all gtk apps

Title:
  in kubuntu 20.04 GIMP offers only English language

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  release: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  gimp version: 2.10.18-1 500

  Make sure in Plasma Settings -> Regional settings -> Language your language is at the top of the list
  Gimp should auto-detect and use the system language.
  Conversely Gimp runs always in English and it's impossible to manually set another language:
  if you click  Edit -> Preferences -> Interface the Language section offers only English (en_US) aside from System Language.

  In a terminal, typing 
  LANG=it gimp 
  (replacing it by ru, ja, ...) don't switch gimp to the wanted language
