Description Artur O. 2015-07-17 19:03:15 UTC

If preferred translation language is set on "American English", and then formats is set to Swedish KDE will write locale LANG to sv_SE.UTF-8 (language set in formats) instead the value actually set in translations.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set one language a in Translations.
2. Set another language b in Formats.
3. Notice locale setting LANG from b instead of a.

Actual Results:  
Locale LANG is set by the language selected in b.

Expected Results:  
Locale LANG set by language selected in a (Translations).

Confirmed.

Additionally, LC_MESSAGES is unset which should also be set to the preferred locale.

I think you're confusing LANG and LANGUAGE. The former is the fallback for all formats (LC_ variables), the latter describes the languages used for translations.
