Actually, it seems KDE 4 uses real gettext to do it, and uses the 
following code:

     // Point Gettext to new language.
     setenv("LANGUAGE", language, 1);

     // Locale directories may differ for different languages of same 
catalog.
     bindtextdomain(name, localeDir);


Maybe just using 'setenv("LANGUAGE", "de", 1);' will do what we want, 
without need for setlocale()? :)

I have to go now so I can't check that yet.
