This is not my forte, but I’ve asked around and I think it does have to be run in English. Though I think you can do something with LANG=C to disable localization and makes all coreutils output english - [linux - LANG=C is in a number of the /etc/init.d/\* scripts. What does LANG=C do and why do you need to set LANG=C. - Super User](https://superuser.com/a/334803)
