This is a strange bug which I haven't had with Kubuntu before. The detailed settings option in the Numeric, Currency and Time Formats end up causing a lot of confusion since they switched to country selection instead of the units/formats themselves.
Since the keyboard is affected, I've set my region to UK.
My preferred desktop language in absolutely everything, from program dialogues to notifications, to time descriptions (month names in the calendar and the AM/PM indication) is British English.
My preferred number format is 1.000,1 which is unlike the US-UK system so I've set that to Greek.
My time zone is GMT+2 (Athens, GR), so I've set that to Greece as well.
Currency is Euro so I've also set that to Greece.
Measurement units should just be Imperial/Metric, I don't see why there should be a country selector here anyway but since I use metric I've also set that to Greece.
Somehow, setting the time zone to Greece, causes the month names to switch to Greek and the AM/PM indication in both the dash clock and the login screen clock to switch to Greek even though all the relevant language settings are set to English. Setting the timezone to UK fixed the dash clock and month names but the login screen persists in using Greek.
Do I need to edit some configuration file to fix that? It's pretty annoying and in general, I don't think that using countries instead of specific units/formats is a good idea. Just because you live somewhere (and operate in the local timezone) doesn't mean that you necessarily speak the local language or that you want to have the local language on your desktop even if you're local.
