English Interface (Instead of Hebrew) [Solved] - Best Solution ?

So, I deleted ~/.config/plasma-localerc which contained:

bash-5.1$ cat  plasma-localerc.sav
[Formats]
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
useDetailed=true

[Translations]
LANGUAGE=en_US:he


A new plasma-localerc was (apparently) automatically generated somehow
which now contains:

bash-5.1$ cat plasma-localerc
[Formats]
LANG=C

/etc/locale.conf contains:

bash-5.1$ cat  locale.conf
LANG=C

Things seem to be working as desired, but I was wondering if this is the
best way to set things up so I get English interfaces, but I don't screw
anything else (Hebrew support in applications, etc).
