Metric format with english language

What is the correct way to keep english as my system language but change only date, time, units ?
I want date with day/month/year, time with 24h, units with metric system.

I tried using KDE settings and set all of those to “Europe English (en_150)”, but I get an error message at boot :
kwin_x11 kwin_xkbcommon: XKB: couldn't find a Compose file for locale "en_150.UTF-8"
So from this message I think it’s not set correctly.

I use azerty keyboard with both french and arab keyboard layouts but want to keep english as system language and use metric system with it.

I use :uk: English for the display language and :ireland: for the number and date formats:

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_IE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

(You can go all :ireland: :four_leaf_clover: if you want too, but I’ve noticed that the above is the ideal balance between giving me what I want and finding multi-lingual applications that have a spelling that I’m comfortable with)

The keyboard layout is totally separate from the language settings so just use whichever AZERTY variant you have…
