Shoutcast custom metadata "$artist - $title" broken when using non-EN locales

[mhuehne]

I am using since about 1 month the recent beta releases of MIXXX on OS X.
I found this bug in recent betas for OS X. Currently used and verified bug for: mixxx-master-git5178-macintel64.dmg

My last generation iMac:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (4000 MHz)
Memory: 16384 MB
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.10.2 Darwin 14.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.1.0: Mon Dec 22 23:10:38 PST 2014; root:xnu-2782.10.72~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Graphics Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R9 M295X OpenGL Engine
OpenGL Version: 2.1 ATI-1.30.5

My problem is with the song's meta data remitted while streaming to shoutcast.
In MIXXX's setup for streaming is a place holder comprising of these two variables:

$Interpret - $Titel

When I am listen to my stream, the string "$Interpret - $Titel" gets literally transmitted for each song, and not the related interpret name, nor the song title.

When listening to my MIXXX shoutcast stream this appears:

[10:42:32] GCGVL Stereo Receiver 2014 v1.1: setting station 8:
[10:42:32] GCGVL Stereo Receiver 2014 v1.1: My Stream = http://85.214.250.199:10430
[10:43:13] Now playing $Interpret -- $Titel <------- <<< The MIXXX bug.

To compare this to my expectation. Metadata should look similar to this output:

[10:49:17] GCGVL Stereo Receiver 2014 v1.1: setting station 4:
[10:49:17] GCGVL Stereo Receiver 2014 v1.1: Country = http://205.164.62.22:7800
[10:49:20] Now playing Heidi Newfield -- Cry Cry ('Til The Sun Shines) <-------<<< Correct information at an other stream

If you need access to my stream for testing purposes let me know.

For a test,
try to set your Locale setting to English(US) in Preference>Interface, restart Mixxx and start your stream again.

Ah, yes -- oops. We shouldn't be translating that string.

mhuehne: you should be able to put "$artist - $title" in the custom metadata field and it will work.
