Thanks for your report.

This would be a rather odd exception rule for language-selector and
related packages. When you change the display language, the LANG and
LANGUAGE variables are changed, and the new values are applied next time
you log in.

If you want to use a different display language for terminal output, you
can achieve it manually. For e.g. gnome-terminal, you can edit ~/.bashrc
and add this line:

export LANGUAGE=en_US

Doing that automatically in case of a RTL language would not be
uncomplicated, and personally I'm disinclined to implement it.

However, you mentioned that you have tested it. From those tests, do you
have any own specific idea of what code changes you would like to see?

Title:
  Using a RTL language interface should prevent APT translation from
  showing in terminal

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The output of APT command is in Arabic. This is problematic because
  gnome-terminal does not support RTL text, bug #263822

  The suggested solution is to prevent translation from being shown in
  terminal for apt or other command line apps.

  This have been tested on Lubuntu and with lxtermianl and on gnome
  terminal and xterm.

  Lubuntu version: 16.04

  We hope that 16.04 will get out in perfect shape for all users.
