Hi there,

Please forgive me if this is a known issue or there is a simple reason for this that I haven't seen due to my R naivety!

When running the examples from the withr::with_language documentation across the three recent Ubuntu LTS versions, I see different behaviour.

24.04 fails to translate, whereas the earlier versions work correctly.

These are clean local Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions with minimal R and package installations for the environments I need to test (see sessionInfos - for example my pandoc versions are different between the two, but this doesn't seem to affect the reported issue).

I was taken down this route by our GitHub Actions starting to fail on 24.04, but not on 22.04: https://github.com/carpentries/sandpaper/actions/runs/12758402271

Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 (behaviour is consistent across these two):

> withr::with_language("en", try(mean[[1]]))
Error in mean[[1]] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable
> withr::with_language("fr", try(mean[[1]]))
Error in mean[[1]] : objet de type 'closure' non indiçable

Even though the language is correctly set to fr to test withr::with_language, the output from these functions remains in English.

I'm happy to provide dpkg lists too if required. Many thanks in advance!

This issue helped solve this for me: #236

My LANG setting on both systems is LANG=C.UTF-8. On Ubuntu 20/22, this works as expected and translations occur. On Ubuntu 24, the issue above is present. I presume this is down to how withr behaviour changed with respect to the "C" LANG handling.

Setting the locale with sudo dpkg-reconfigure locale to a specific locale, e.g. en_GB.UTF-8 results in the withr tests no longer being skipped due to LANG=C and the output is correct when using withr::with_language
