Description of problem: The sentence 'Running plugins. Please wait ...' is not translated when run with other locale. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sos-2.2-44.el6.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. # export LC_ALL="de_DE" (works with any other locale, e.g. it_IT, es_ES, ...) 2. # sosreport -o bootloader --tmp-dir=. --batch 3. 'Plugins werden ausgeführt. Bitte warten ...' is not translated, other text is in english Actual results: Only some plugins are run with complete english translation Expected results: All plugins are run with complete english translation Additional info: Note: This is not an issue on x86_64 and i386. Kernel plugin runs with complete english translation (unlike bootloader, selinux, etc.).

Can you provide some complete output that shows the messages you're referring to? I'm confused by the reference to x86_64/i386. Are you only seeing this on some arches? > Plugins werden ausgeführt. Bitte warten ...' > is not translated, other text is in english Is this what you're seeing, or what you expect to see?
Yes, untranslated message 'Plugins werden ausgeführt. Bitte warten ...' only appears on ppc64 and s390x architectures. Verified with sos-2.2-52.el6.noarch (tested as in 'Steps to reproduce').
I'm really confused by this report. Surely if you're exporting LANG=de_DE then you *want* messages in German? Printing 'Plugins werden ausgeführt. Bitte warten ...' would be correct for that locale, no? We have very incomplete (and out-of-date) translations for non-English languages at the moment but I'm really not clear on what's being requested in this bug. Please can you include complete output showing the messages in-context and indicating what you expect to see when this bug is fixed.
This bug was reported based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=888488 and I'm not sure if I was mistaken in the description, whether 'sosreport should force all external processes to use the 'C' locale' should also apply on the terminal output. The point is, that there is output of sosreport command in two languages: [0 root@auto-ppcp-003 ~]# export LC_ALL="de_DE" [0 root@auto-ppcp-003 ~]# sosreport -o bootloader --tmp-dir=. --batch sosreport (version 2.2) This command will collect diagnostic and configuration information from this Red Hat Enterprise Linux system and installed applications.

> Yes, untranslated message 'Plugins werden ausgeführt. Bitte warten ...' only > appears on ppc64 and s390x architectures. Other way around: this is the only *translated* message that appears. It's the English that is untranslated (in this locale). It's not ideal but it's been this way for a long time; we use transifex for translations and we have very few contributions so as the text that sos uses in the UI has changed over the years. I'm not sure how we can get resources to work on this (my German certainly isn't up to it!).
