The D-Bus API takes the locale as a parameter: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/eggdbus-interface-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.html#eggdbus-method-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.EnumerateActions You can verify that it works by calling this method like this $ gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 --object-path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/Authority --method org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.EnumerateActions da_DK However the GObject API passes the empty string for the locale http://cgit.freedesktop.org/PolicyKit/tree/src/polkit/polkitauthority.c#n645 We should probably change the GObject API to pass getenv("LANG") if non-NULL or something.
