Did you logout and login ?

Yes, I did. The only result was a question about renaming default folders ( Documents, Pictures ...) and in main menu text from "Aplikácie" was changed to "Applications". Rest in submenus remained in slovak. For example "Kancelária" should be "Office" etc. in raspbian-config localization remained sk_SK. Seems to me that logic for localization in raspbian-config is main timezone.

@janozvoldikst-stack Hi and Welcome

I assume you are using armbian-config and not raspian-config?

XFCE Desktop Locale

Since you're running XFCE desktop (armbian-trixie-desktop-xfce), the desktop environment has its own locale settings separate from the system locale.

Try changing the locale through XFCE directly:

  1. Open Settings Manager (or run xfce4-settings-manager in terminal)
  2. Click Language
  3. Change to your preferred locale
  4. Log out and back in

Does this change the locale for your desktop session?
