My comment was about the text in english that is displayed in the GUI of synaptic.
The mini terminal in synaptic is a VTE component and it is the issue you reported in bug 325324.
As a workaround, I think we could force a C locale when the VTE is called from synaptic. This way, we'll display correct english instead of incorrect hebrew. Could you please tell me what the line above 'Selecting previously ...' means in the screenshot in comment #13 in order to locate it and try to reproduce here ?
There is still the problem with the dpkg output displayed in the GUI which will remain in english since the translation has been removed from dpkg. Couldn't we have a minimal translation file for those strings ?
I'm not sure that removing translations from CLI apps is the solution. Many GUI apps uses output from CLI apps to display their message. If you remove the translations from CLI you'll end up with GUI in mixed languages which is worse (and mixed directions)
