Language/locale changes during rig add release

[claczny]

Parallel to my issue #137, I observe that, for some reason, the language changes during the installation of an R release:

cedric.laczny:/Users/cedric.laczny/ $ rig add release                            [11:19:57]

Any ideas why this is happening?
Thank you!

[ADDENDUM]
My primary system language is English:

But my current location is Luxembourg.

I think this is probably because sudo does not keep the environment variables. We need to keep LC_* env vars and also LANG.

I can't actually reproduce this in Ventura, sudo keeps the locale for me. Nevertheless we explicitly keep LANG and the LC_* env vars, so hopefully it solves your issue as well.
