setting the local to english in CLI commands on non-english systems does not produce english output --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-3723 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3723 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Localization Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final Environment: Tested on MacOS running in German Reporter: Tom Fonteyne Assignee: Alexey Loubyansky Priority: Minor A German (or french etc...) system must be used to reproduce. It is likely this is not limited to MacOS, but I do not have a non-english Linux system available An out of the box install of wildfly/EAP: Without configuration, the log file is in German as expected. Using these CLI comands: :read-operation-description(name=stop-servers,locale=de_DE) -> german :read-operation-description(name=stop-servers,locale=en_US) -> german :read-operation-description(name=stop-servers,locale=fr_FR) -> french So we cannot get the CLI to produce english output when configuring JAVA_OPTS in domain.conf with: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=DE -Duser.encoding=utf-8 The log is now in English -> works as expected; and: :read-operation-description(name=stop-servers,locale=de_DE) -> german :read-operation-description(name=stop-servers,locale=en_US) -> english So it seems we have a bug where the locale set to start the domain takes precedence over the locale set in the CLI command (but only when English is asked) I presume this is because English is the default locale.
