Translation error in every minikube command since 1.15.0

[galishmann]

When I am trying to execute any command in minikube I have error message:

~ $ minikube version
I1114 13:59:47.843637   11252 translate.go:89] Failed to load translation file for en: Asset translations/en.json not found
minikube version: v1.15.0

Works here, which platform and locale are you on ? (it is not supposed to load a translation file for en)

[afbjorklund]

Hmm, can reproduce with non-american locale:

$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ./out/minikube version
minikube version: v1.15.0
commit: 3e098ff146b8502f597849dfda420a2fa4fa43f0
$ LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 ./out/minikube version
I1114 14:50:45.479064  444106 translate.go:89] Failed to load translation file for en: Asset translations/en.json not found
minikube version: v1.15.0
commit: 3e098ff146b8502f597849dfda420a2fa4fa43f0

Or for other languages:

$ LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8 ./out/minikube version
I1114 14:52:27.157482  444194 translate.go:89] Failed to load translation file for sv: Asset translations/sv.json not found
minikube version: v1.15.0
commit: 3e098ff146b8502f597849dfda420a2fa4fa43f

Worked OK in v1.14.2.

No changes to translate itself, though. So it looks like a klog change.

The error was there before as well, just didn't log it out to the console.

I can confirm this behavior with the 1.15.0 release (running macOS 10.15.7).

Explicitly setting an en_US locale:

$ env LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 minikube version
minikube version: v1.15.0
commit: 3e098ff146b8502f597849dfda420a2fa4fa43f0

Setting a non-US locale--mine in this case:

$ env LC_ALL=en_CA.UTF-8 minikube version
I1114 13:07:25.983227   66526 translate.go:89] Failed to load translation file for en: Asset translations/en.json not found
minikube version: v1.15.0
commit: 3e098ff146b8502f597849dfda420a2fa4fa43f0

No locale environment variable set, presumably falling back to a variant of en_CA in my case:

$ env -u LC_ALL minikube version
I1114 13:06:48.939471   66485 translate.go:89] Failed to load translation file for en: Asset translations/en.json not found
minikube version: v1.15.0
commit: 3e098ff146b8502f597849dfda420a2fa4fa43f0

As always, I appreciate everyone's hard work on minikube! ❤️

Before, we had these two lines in the minikube log:

translate.go:107] Setting Language to en-GB ...
translate.go:89] Failed to load translation file for en: Asset translations/en.json not found

Now the first line is gone, the other is on the console:

• Points to 20a1274
• Reverting this fixes it

[afbjorklund]

The error message is extra useless, since it doesn't actually look at that path (adding the file doesn't help)

So it only looks at the files that have been compiled into minikube the binary, and are available as an Asset

This is fixed in v1.15.1
