What I do is set the LANG variable to C. For example, in a terminal, you'd run:
LANG=C guix describe
And you'd get the output in English only for that command. If you run it again without
the "LANG=C" part, you should see the output in German.
I see the value C as "the language or locale in which programs were originally
written". In this case it is English because Guix is written in English.
You can use the same trick to use programs in any of the languages they are
localized to. For example, the following prints the output in French:
LANG=fr_FR.utf8 guix describe
To find out what kind of values you can pass to LANG, you can run the following
command:
locale --all
That command is provided by the package "gcc-toolchain".
Hope that helps,
