I justed test the above...

Slightly different setup:

   system locale is de_DE.UTF-8
   in ~/.xsessionrc I put: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

   -> MATE session is English!


"""
mike at minobo:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

mike at minobo:~$ localectl
    System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
        VC Keymap: n/a
       X11 Layout: de
        X11 Model: pc105

"""

Please test again.

Please use .xsessionrc for exporting your language setup:

"""
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
"""

Please report back, if things still fail for you.

If I don't get any feedback within the next 1-2 weeks I will close  
this bug (and you can reopen it later if you still see the issue then).

Mike
