This is a translation problem. The long help strings are marked as
translatable, appear in the distributed bash.pot file (I checked
bash-4.3, bash-4.4, and bash-5.0-alpha), and are run through gettext
when they're displayed. If there is no translation, `help' just prints
the untranslated text.
(And you might consider using a valid email address to get replies.)
