Switch language for .NET CLI on macOS/Linux

[sergeyzwezdin]

I have Russian macOS and want to force .NET CLI use English as a default language.

In #8686 it was suggested to set DOTNET_CLI_UI_LANGUAGE environment variable to change the language, but for macOS and Linux this trick doesn't work.

For macOS setting export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in .zshrc helped to switch CLI to English 🎉
But anyways, it would be cool if .NET CLI will be able to handle DOTNET_CLI_UI_LANGUAGE.

On macOS 12.2 with .NET 6.0.101 I added the following line to '.zprofile' file:

export DOTNET_CLI_UI_LANGUAGE="en-US"

This works for me.

Didn't work for me. Linux Mint and Net 6.

Compiler warnings etc are all on German. :-(

@Cantaria See no problem there

@sharpSteff the problem ist the wrong language. Everything on my system is set to English but I'm getting the errors in German. I don't know where the German messages are coming from.

It's much easier to Code and understand the erros if everything is in English.

@Cantaria the comment was ment to be ironic. Sorry for that

[Cantaria]

Oh OK. Than sorry from my side, too
