You are correct that this won't work.
First, it isn't really correct to change the environment in the
".bashrc" file. The environment should be changed with the
".bash_profile" script.
Second, if you do so (either way), it will affect the whole KDE session
for that user.
What you can do is to start Konsole with a scrip (e.g. konsole_english):
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
#! /bin/bash
LANG="C"
export LANG
exec konsole
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
and modify the:
$KDEDIR/share/applications/kde4/konsole.desktop
file to read (for example)
Exec=konsole_english
Then if you find that you need other things in the environment changed,
you can simply add them to the script.
