Description
In general Gex may run into issues when the locale is not English as it often directly parses the output from git.
In particular changes to the working tree are not shown as we are looking for the lines "Untracked files:" and "Changes not staged for commit:"

This is a pretty hacky solution and I would rather directly interface with libgit2.
I don't have the time to work on this right now so I am marking as "help wanted" and in the next release I will include a warning if the locale is not English. As stated in the README Gex is primarily a personal project, but that being said I do very much want to support non-English locales.
TODO:
- Implement warning when locale is non-English
- Actually fix the issue
