You've set more than just the language to Catalan. Use locale(1) to check
your locale settings and fiddle with them.

E.g.
        env LC_ALL= LANG=C LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 LC_NUMERIC="C" \
                LC_TIME="C" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES=ca_ES \
                LC_PAPER="C" LC_NAME="C" LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C" \
                LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" gnumeric
should give you messages in Catalan, Latin-1 characters considered printable
and the dot as the decimal separator.
