Issue
What were you trying to do that didn't work?
`rct cat-cert` in specific `LC` raises uncaught `UnicodeEncodeError`. The exception comes from `gettext` library.
Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
`gettext-0.19.8.1-17.el8.x86_64`
(not present in `gettext-0.21-7.el9.x86_64`)
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to reproduce
Have `subscription-manager` installed on RHEL8.
`LC_ALL=C LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 rct cat-cert --no-content /etc/pki/product-default/479.pem`
`echo -e "from subscription_manager.i18n import ugettext as , configure_i18n\nconfigure_i18n()\nprint(('Product Certificate'))" | LC_ALL=C LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 python3`
Expected results
2. prints certificate details in Japan
3. prints "製品証明書" ("Product Certificate" in Japan)
Actual results
2. raises exception:

3. raises exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-4: ordinal not in range(128)
Note the `LC_ALL=C` that is crucial for the reproducer.
Some debugging of the code revealed that `/usr/lib64/python3.6/gettext.py` line 445:
def gettext(self, message):
missing = object()
tmsg = self._catalog.get(message, missing)
if tmsg is missing:
already sets `tmsg` to some "unprintable" list of characters.
