Because of that you need to start google-chrome or chromium with whatever non-English locale you use for example LANG=sl_SI.UTF-8 for Slovenian locale.
Running google-chrome like this fixes the problem.
`LANG=sl_SI.UTF-8 /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable`
You can create KDE Desktop shortcut Chrome.desktop

Update 31.08.2014
A general system wide fix for all users is to update locale.conf with more advanced options:Create or edit /etc/locale.conf with these options:
# Enable UTF-8 with US settings.
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
# Keep the default sort order (e.g. files starting with a '.'
# should appear at the start of a directory listing.)
LC_COLLATE="C"
# Set the short date to YYYY-MM-DD (test with "date +%c")
LC_TIME="sl_SI.UTF-8"
