Description Till Schäfer 2020-07-08 14:37:48 UTC 
Since I am not entirely sure, whether this is KDE or Gentoo issue, I am also reporting the bug here. After upgrading to plasmas 5.19.3, the systemwide locale format setting from /etc/env.d/02locale are ignored in plasma.

# cat /etc/env.d/02locale 
LANG="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="C"

I have tried to delete ~/.config/plasma-localerc, but this did not changed anything. The config was recreated using the following settings.

$ cat ~/.config/plasma-localerc

revert-edc64d04a1e569d7032c41e6ee0ebf59833c26f2-fix_system_locale_not_respected.patch

Upstream identified the faulty change: 
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/100

I have attached a patch to revert that merge request. This patch fixed the problems for me. 

I would suggest to apply that patch on a revbump of plasma-workspace (at least if 5.19.3 should become stable).
