[Bug 1537064] Re: Using a RTL language interface should prevent APT translation from showing in terminal

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Sorry for late reply.

As I mentioned, it would be a little complex, and an odd exception. But
besides that, it's not apparent that all RTL language users would like
it. While those who speak English well enough might appreciate it,
others might not.

So I think it's better to spread the word about how you *can* change the
display language for the terminal only, and keep the default behavior as
is.

Title:
  Using a RTL language interface should prevent APT translation from
  showing in terminal

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The output of APT command is in Arabic. This is problematic because
  gnome-terminal does not support RTL text, bug #263822

  The suggested solution is to prevent translation from being shown in
  terminal for apt or other command line apps.

  This have been tested on Lubuntu and with lxtermianl and on gnome
  terminal and xterm.

  Lubuntu version: 16.04

  We hope that 16.04 will get out in perfect shape for all users.
