Does your system locale differ from the user locale?

I think what we see here is that systemd user services use the system
locale (in your case pulseaudio) instead of the system locale.

I assume if you change the system locale to match your user locale
(dpkg-reconfigure locales) and restart your system, the translations
should be fixed?

In any case, that isn't really a gnome-shell issue, but deeper down the
stack. Not sure if it's systemd, dbus-user-session or gnome-session.

I've CCed Simon, maybe he has some insight here.

Regards,
Michael
