I didn't have another reasonable hypothesis on what could be the reason for the observed behaviour.

It does have, however. On my system with german locale, calling lyx with LANG="en_US" lyx makes it come up with all texts in english, menu, dialogs etc. (In my actual situation written with greek letters, though.) > >> which strangely changed the language of the menus to english, still >> shown in greek letters. >> > This is very strange.

Could you, please, be somewhat more explicit here. I never tackled with qt, so I don't have any idea where to look for that.
