What's the output of these two commands for you: 1. locale 2. env | grep -e LC -e LANG We don't do any such magic ourselves, so whatever this is is down to how i18n in general works on your system, do you have any other translated command-line program that works differently? I suspect there's some DWYM logic here that always treats English as a secondary language. Do you also e.g. get the same results if you select say Swedish as a primary language and German as a secondary? I.e. a Git in German, as opposed to Swedish?
