So I guess you did:

$ sudo apt-get install kde-i18n-engb

?

Some other things I usually try to remember to do are:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

and add en_GB_UTF-8 (and sometimes remove the other ones).

And also

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data

select, "choose keymap from archlist" and then select the obvious choices.

Though you may have done this when you installed.

And maybe:

$ sudo apt-get install ibritish myspell-en-gb

Cheers,
Richard
