"cargo install" only build in English

[sylvestre]

with

cargo install uu_yes

we install the binary in
~/.cargo/bin/

This command
~/.cargo/bin/yes --help
will show English strings.

We probably want to update this code:
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/blob/main/src/uucore/build.rs#L216
to detect the local of the system and embedded both english (for fallback) and the user translation locales.

Hi, I'm a newcomer to Rust and this project. This "Good first issue" looks like a great opportunity for me to learn and contribute. I would love to try and solve it. Could you please assign this to me? Thanks!

[sylvestre]

please submit a PR first :)

Hi, I'm new to Rust and this project, looking for problems for newbies to solve, and this thread looks like a finished user of Water Caster (uucore: embed system locale when installing Cargo #8604), the solution has been made and I don’t see any point in leaving the thread open, proposing to close the thread as a solved problem, thanks for your attention.

@WaterWhisperer Is there any progress for your PR and is #9103 was fixed by your PR automatically too?

[WaterWhisperer]

Hi @oech3,

Thanks for the ping! My PR #8604 was reviewed in September with all checks passing, but it hasn't been merged yet.

I've just reached out to @sylvestre on the PR to check if there's anything blocking the merge or if any updates are needed.

Regarding #9103 - seems that's a different issue about lazy-loading translations for performance optimization. My PR addresses the original issue here about embedding system locales during cargo install. Once this PR is merged, #9103 would be a separate performance enhancement that could be tackled independently.
