wget printing results in Russian

[jwmparker]

At some point around December or January the wget in MacPorts started reporting results in Russian (see snippet below) in my iMac running macOS v10.13.2. I can't find any language location setting for wget, and the command line "locale" shows everything on my machine set to "en_US.UTF-8".

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers wget), if any.

Do you have the LANG, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, or LANGUAGE environment variables set, and if so, to what values?

In the Language & Region section of System Preferences, what are you Preferred Languages?

Replying to ryandesign:

Do you have the LANG, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, or LANGUAGE environment variables set, and if so, to what values?

LANG is set to "en_US.UTF-8" All the others are not set.

In the Language & Region section of System Preferences, what are you Preferred Languages?

Two languages are listed: English (U.S.) is the Primary, and Russian (Русский) is the second.

I can't reproduce this issue with wget 1.24.5 on macOS 12.7.2 today. I only get Russian output from wget if I list Russian first in Language & Region preferences.

I see that wget does not ship with en_US localization files, but it does have files for en_GB and ru. If you still experience the problem, perhaps it would be solved if you added English (UK) to your Language & Region preferences between English (U.S.) and Russian.
