Google's Translate says it's Japanese...
In the *scratch*
buffer I have
(getenv "LANG")
"C.UTF-8"
I'm on Debian Sid with an updated Debian TeXLive and auctex-12.1.2
installed with elpa
What's going on?
Addendum
I had consistently the help message in Japanese using either pdflatex
or xelatex
or luatex
while from the shell I had, in all cases, the help message in English. Both in Emacs and the shell I have LANG
set to C.UTF-8
.
The problem was solved (so to say) restarting Emacs. In a new copy of Emacs, with a new instance of AUCTeX I have again the help messages in English.
The strange behaviour I experienced is likely due to a casual interaction between the user and Emacs/AUCTeX and I don't expect that we can find what happened, on the other hand I don't want to remove the question but it's fine if you close it.

in the shell and in the X session. Emacs was started from the window manager that, in turn, was started by my~/.Xsession
(I know, very old fashonied, isn't it?). I add that I don't see Japanese very often, not at all... – gboffi Jun 6 '19 at 20:57pdflatex file.tex
