No. An ordinary user can not do that, unless she has root privileges.
Suppose a computer used an an internet access point by many international 
people.  Please do not mark this invalid.  IMHO it's a serious bug.
The solution I propose is that the env vars LANG and LC_ALL must be set by the 
KDE-system-settings according to the language the user chooses, both for the 
current session (the one that hands down the env to newly started programs) 
and in the user's .profile.  Probably you have to prepare a lookup table, 
because not all language-encoding-pairs are ready for unicode and you have to 
take care to set the terminal font :)
