Thanks for your report.

This would be a rather odd exception rule for language-selector and related packages. When you change the display language, the LANG and LANGUAGE variables are changed, and the new values are applied next time you log in.

If you want to use a different display language for terminal output, you can achieve it manually. For e.g. gnome-terminal, you can edit ~/.bashrc and add this line:

export LANGUAGE=en_US

Doing that automatically in case of a RTL language would not be uncomplicated, and personally I'm disinclined to implement it.

However, you mentioned that you have tested it. From those tests, do you have any own specific idea of what code changes you would like to see?
