Thank you Markus,

Yes I did try that and it doesn't help.

Maybe zshell still needs some extras in grass py?

zsh is certainly not well supported by GRASS (e.g. #3740
<https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3740>). The lack of support is
probably due to using "default_startup()" in "lib/init/grass.py"


2235        if sh in ['csh', 'tcsh']:
2236            shell_process = csh_startup(mapset_settings.full_mapset,
2237                                        mapset_settings.location,
2238                                        mapset_settings.mapset,
2239                                        grass_env_file)
2240        elif sh in ['bash', 'msh', 'cygwin']:
2241            shell_process = bash_startup(mapset_settings.full_mapset,
2242                                         mapset_settings.location,
2243                                         grass_env_file)
2244        else:
2245            shell_process = default_startup(mapset_settings.full_mapset,
2246                                            mapset_settings.location)


Nevertheless, the issue we are discussing here is not related to zsh. Even
with bash, the translations do not work
