The Python bridge does not dynamically change its locale from
Accept-Languages:
, but just defaults to the standard environment of the logged in machine.We decided to not reimplement this in the pybridge, as that is weird, error prone, and a corner case: No other Linux command line software does that, it won't change the locale of existing running programs which got spawned before changing the language (as that's impossible), the code was making assumptions about locale names and availability, and we take very little human readable text directly from command-line programs, most of it gets interpreted, formatted, and translated in the UI.
