No, that's not the problem. Both, C and POSIX work for me, as they
should. You might have hit another problem here. 

The problem is, that the interface language should be controlled by the
variable LC_MESSAGES, but instead it is controlled by LC_NUMERIC.
Try setting
  LANG=de_AT.utf8
  LC_MESSAGES=POSIX
This should give you an English interface, but it is German. If you set
  LANG=de_AT.utf8
  LC_NUMERIC=POSIX
the interface language is English. So LC_NUMERIC controls the interface
language. I don't know whose fault this is. I don't have problems with
other QT programs. 

QT programs seem to a mess in this respect. qvlc only reacts to LANG.
Setting any other locale variable doesn't have any effect. 

The same is true for kdiff3. Maybe there is a bug in libqt4?

Cheers,
harry
