Comment (by nomeata):

 I see. But the `translate` function is only used on Windows, for reasons
 explained in `-- Escaping commands for shells` in System.Process.Internals
 – is your bug report about Windows? Can you maybe give a concrete example
 of what should work and does not, so that it can be turned into a
 testcase?
