The output returned by nmcli is localized, i.e. the output depends on the language of current user executing it. Grepping "yes" in the output will fail if the current user language is not English:

$  LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 nmcli -t -f active,device d wifi list
non:wlp1s0
non:wlp1s0
non:wlp1s0
oui:wlp1s0
non:wlp1s0

This commit sets the language to English when calling nmcli so the word "yes" can be successfully grepped.
