ok fine. So in the end, I should only use pacman and not pamac?
True.
But in the case of pamac you should not use the terminal command with sudo either.
That would be a fine choice.
But thats not what any of the above was saying.
Just the observation that your use of the word sudo was incorrect - those dialogs are polkit, not sudo. And that on top of that you should not use sudo with pamac under any circumstances either.

Not ever.
Isnāt that enough?

aye! 
My guess is the OP installed the problematic versions of libpamac & pamac-cli when they were on Unstable branch. Those of us on Testing branch have encountered the same language issues:
pamac install gimp

pamac --version
pamac-cli 11.7.3 - libpamac 11.7.2
I havenāt bothered downgrading to earlier versions as I use pacman for updates, but downgrading does seem to fix the language issue:
