`emerge --info` does not display information about memory and swap with non-English locales: KiB Mem: XXXXXXXX total, XXXXXXXX free KiB Swap: XXXXXXXX total, XXXXXXXX free This information is retrieved by portage.util._get_vm_info.get_vm_info() function which parses output of: - On Linux: free - Else: sysctl -a I do not know if output of `sysctl -a` would be localized ("Free Memory Pages" string), but better to also force C locale for that command.
