As others have said, it's the nls setting that does this. Specifically, |
| 40 |
the string "est une primitive du shell" is part of the i18n that's in |
| 41 |
the bash binary. When you set LANG or LC_MESSAGES to something |
| 42 |
different, i.e., el_GR, you'll get the Greek translation. The man page |
| 43 |
for locale has lots of info about this. |
