Description

I noticed that src/uucore/src/lib/mods/locale.rs's unit tests have some workaround for threads e.g. std::thread::spawn.

This repo has english and french *.ftl currently. But I think we can simplify those tests by just importing all true's locale files from coreutils-l10n repository. Also we can test actual usecase.

Research direction

Start in src/uucore/src/lib/mods/locale.rs, focusing on the unit tests and their std:🧵:spawn workaround. Compare the current English and French *.ftl files with the true locale files in coreutils-l10n, then verify that all are imported and the tests cover the actual use case without the workaround.
